Vusi Mahlasela- Everytime Lyrics

Everytime you’re in my dream

I close my eyes

And you’re there

Standing in a circle of stones

Storm clouds building up in the sky

Ripe fruit splits in the sun

Thunder rolls rainstorm comes

Can hardly bear this ecstasy

This strange hold you have on me

Chorus:

Everytime I see the red sun

Fall in an African sky

You’re always on my mind/everytime

Spinning me round in time/everytime

Every time I try to picture you

Beneath those cold northern skies

I see you walking by the River Lekwa

Your beauty burns the dusk like fire

Sacred rites from our sun-drunk days

Feel the power coming through

Hear flowing down my shivering limbs

Pulling my mind across the world

Across to you

(chorus)

Last light fades away

Darkness brings no comfort for my memories in dreams

I call you name

In dreams I read out and touch you

Oh, you already know

So don’t turn away

Or make me explain

How the wind turns to steel

Cold hard and blue

When I’m away from you

You’re always on my mind/everytime

Spinning me round in time/everytime

Everytime

You’re always on my mind/everytime

Spinning me round in time/everytime

Everytime (x4)

Heat flowing down my shivering limbs

Pulling my mind across the sky to you
