Through all the days that eat away At every breath that I take Through all the nights I have lain alone In someone else's dream, awake All the words in truth that have been spoken That the wind has blown away Oh, 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 He takes a beating without making a sound Through swollen eyes, he sways and he smiles 'Cause no one can put him down Inside of him a boy looks up to his father For a sign or an approvin' eye Oh, it's funny how those once so close and now gone 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 Oh, I'm comin', I'll be comin' home You know the tide is turnin' Tellin' you, the tide is turnin' Gonna make my crossin' Over this dark land Gonna touch your face Gonna lay me down In your grace Oh, I'm comin', I'll be comin' home Oh, I'm comin', I'll be comin' home Oh, I'm comin', gonna lay me down Gonna make this crossin' Over the dark land Gonna touch your face Gonna lay me down In your green field of grace
