One day I looked up
and there you were
like a simple question
looking for an answer
now I am a whale
listening to some inner call
swimming blindly to throw myself upon your shore
what if I don't find you when I have landed?
would you leave me here to die
on the shore stranded
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
dela /minanga/
when I'm with you
some dela mama some dela
I burn for you
I've been waiting for you all my life
hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night
day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life
waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night
I burn for you
the blind bird sings
inside the cage that is my heart
the image of your face comes to me when I'm alone in the dark
if I could give a shape to this ache that I have for you
if I could find the voice that says the words that capture you
I think I know... I think I know
I think I know... I think I know
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I think I know why the dog howls at the moon
I say, dela
dela /minanga/
dela when I'm with you
some dela mumma some dela
I burn for you
I've been waiting for you all my life
hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night
day and night
I've been waiting for you all my life
waiting for redemption
I've been waiting day and night
I burn for you
some dela
some dela mumma
some dela
I burn for you
I've been waiting for you all my life
hoping for a miracle
I've been waiting day and night
day and night
I've been waiting for all my life
waiting for redemption
I've been waitin day and night
I burn for you
burn for you
