Two Humans On The Run - Johnny Clegg, Juluka, Sipho Mchunu

The autumn leaves have trooped their colours

Rumours of the battle to come

Intelligence says you have departed

But my heart cannot give up it’s love

I’m living through a war in peace time

Dying to get through to you

Baba noma…

Living through a war in peace time

To get through to you

On your face, love, days and sorrow

So long we struggled on

Baba noma…

The heart is a shattered province

Pockets of love still hold out in the ruins

Old memories sent me reinforcements

But they were ambushed on high ground

I’m living through a war in peace time

Dying to get through to you

Baba noma…

Living through a war in peace time

To get through to you

Why do you fight like this with me now

You fill the days with such sad sounds

Baba noma…

Ngikhanyisele wedlozi lami

Two humans on the run

Two humans on the run

I’m living through a war in peace time

I’m living through a war in peace time
