《The Ancient Dust of Africa》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ancient Dust of Africa - Edi Niederlander

[00:00:33] The stars of heaven spun madly

[00:00:37] In the pool of the jungle night

[00:00:41] When the hand of God came down to draw

[00:00:45] The curtain from the light

[00:00:50] My eyes beheld a timeless world

[00:00:54] As a stillness filled the air

[00:00:58] And the ancient dust of Africa

[00:01:02] Was settling in my hair

[00:01:13] I've wandered down her avenues

[00:01:17] Of antelope and dust

[00:01:20] I've wandered down her alleyways

[00:01:25] Of agony and rust

[00:01:29] I wandered through an endless stream

[00:01:33] Of starving young and old

[00:01:37] And the ancient dust of Africa

[00:01:41] Had settled in my soul

[00:02:18] I've climbed her highest mountains

[00:02:22] I've sunk beneath her seas

[00:02:26] I'v cursed the rancid fever

[00:02:30] That she carries in her breeze

[00:02:34] But the glory of the eagle

[00:02:39] Had echoed from the start

[00:02:42] That the ancient dust of Africa

[00:02:46] Had settled in my heart
