Lyrics High Country - . - Johnny Clegg
There's
a
girl
who
lives
in
the
high
country
Where
the
willows
do
not
weep
And
the
rain
falls
softly
and
gently
And
does
not
disturb
her
sleep
There's
a
girl
who
lives
in
the
high
country
Who
lives
on
tea
and
dreams
And
I
know
that
she
does
not
love
me
But
she
plays
the
game
so
well
Sit
by
my
side
and
tell
me
boy
Is
the
milky
way
that
far?
is
the
universe
really
expanding?
Tell
me
who
you
are?
I
am
a
bondsman
- a
poor
man
I
am
a
ghettoman
- I
am
a
thief
Who
saw
the
gutterman
who
has
no
compassion
Who
heard
the
widow
who
cannot
weep
In
the
backstreets,
in
the
poor
towns
I
hear
a
thunder
which
cannot
roll
Mine
are
the
eyes
that
steal
from
the
orphanage
A
groveller,
groping
in
the
grime
Inside
is
a
congo-jungle-beast-lion-leopard-man
A
tiger-man
from
timbuktu
Even
a
lover-man
strutting
down
the
avenue
A
winding
river
searching
for
the
sea...
And
she
said
that
she
understood
me
She
thought
I
was
complex
and
sensitive
Here
she
said,
hold
my
hand,
And
have
a
muffin!
Do
you
see
the
clouds
boy?
Do
you
see
the
ship?
Do
you
see
the
duck?
Do
you
love
me?
Brick
by
brick
the
empire
is
crumbling
Stone
by
stone
it
cracks
and
folds
Dreams
of
phantoms
plotting
in
the
jungle
Vengeance
in
the
elephant
grass
Someone's
been
at
the
liquor
cabinet
She's
sure
someone's
been
wearing
her
shoes
All
around
her
chaos
and
anarchy
Light
and
reason
overthrown
I'm
sure
she
says,
they
will
attack
the
embassy,
Take
me
home,
take
me
home!
There's
a
wind
that
blows
through
the
high
country
Where
the
mansion
used
to
stand
And
it
blows
through
the
broken
down
garden
Where
she
once
held
my
hand.
La,
la,
la,
la...
