 Summer on the Savanna By: Noah Eaton 4/4/03  Hot cinnamon sun is gleaming upon the Bermuda grass Feels like fire when I’m holding you dear With fraudulent elbows and sylvan knees To your summer rain and winter heat I’ll adhere So let us sleep on the savanna tonight Where Mother will know we’re just fine And in times like these we’ll hold on For here we are free and divine… Myriads of flamingos are soaring over us Blending a silk sky in tie-dye And when the rain begins to fall again It feels as though the sun has fallen over you, what a sight So let us sleep on the savanna tonight My heart aspires the kalabash beat in your soul And in times like these we’ll ring true With whistling fingers and humming toes Acacia tree, you provide my remedy In life’s sweet melody you play the Wubala Crooning in upbeat tempo Like a laughing dove I’ll watch over you like a serval Don’t want to miss a terrestial sigh you make On your prairie I run free like a blue duiker Through the jackalberry trees and baobabs I’ll play your game In the morning, I saw that you had run away Felt your whisper through the elephant grass like a prom dress sweeping the balustrade Not even the Ibis could interpret such a song Not even the whistling thorns knew what to say Open the door of the horizon and bring me some rain... Baby... Underneath these Tartarian honeysuckles I lick the leaves trying to remember how you taste With sirocco cries and unfettered tears I long to ease this drought and again summon the rain… What would you give to sleep on the savanna tonight? And convince you that you’ll feel the sunshine everyday And I can feel her hollow eyes in my memory silence And her face I knew immolate Open the door of the horizon and bring me some rain... Baby...  "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (04-04-2003 02:02 PM).] |
