The crossing - osiyeza

Through all the days that eat away
At every breath that I take
Through all the nights I´ve lain alone
In someone else´s dream, awake
All the words in truth we have spoken
That the wind has blown away
It´s only you that remains with me
Clear as the light of day
O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
A punch drunk man in a downtown bar
Takes a beating without making a sound
Through swollen eyes he sways and smiles
´cause noone can put him down
Inside of him a boy looks up to his father
For a sign or an approving eye
Oh, it´s funny how those once so close and now gone
Can still so affect our lives
O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
Take me now, hold me close
Don´t let go, I´m coming home
O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
At every breath that I take
Through all the nights I´ve lain alone
In someone else´s dream, awake
All the words in truth we have spoken
That the wind has blown away
It´s only you that remains with me
Clear as the light of day
O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
A punch drunk man in a downtown bar
Takes a beating without making a sound
Through swollen eyes he sways and smiles
´cause noone can put him down
Inside of him a boy looks up to his father
For a sign or an approving eye
Oh, it´s funny how those once so close and now gone
Can still so affect our lives
O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
Take me now, hold me close
Don´t let go, I´m coming home
O Siyeza, o siyeza, sizofika webaba noma
O siyeza, o siyeza, siyagudle lomhlaba
Siyawela lapheshaya lulezontaba ezimnyama
Lapha sobheka phansi konke ukhulupheka
