Horizons

Lyrics

Sleep, my springbok baby Sleep for me, my springbok child When morning comes, I'll go out hunting For you are hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry Small moon, Hai! Young moon When the sun rises, you must speak to the Rain Charm her with herbs and honeycomb O speak to her, that I may drink, this little thing, that I may drink That I may drink, that I may drink She will come across the dark sky Mighty Raincow, sing your song for me That I may find you on the far horizon, far horizon Horizon Sleep, my springbok baby Sleep for me, my springbok child When morning comes we'll go out hunting For you are hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry O Star, Hai! Hunting Star When the sun rises you must blind with your light The Eland's eyes O blind his eyes, that I may eat, this little thing, that I may eat That I may eat, that I may eat He will come across the red sands Mighty Eland, dance your dance for me That I may find you on the far horizon, far horizon Horizon Sleep, my springbok baby Sleep for me, my springbok child When morning comes, they'll come a-hunting For they are hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry Hungry and thirsty, thirsty and hungry Hungry They will come across the waters Mighty saviours in their sailing ships And they will show us new and far horizons, far horizons Horizon And they came, came across the waters Gods in galleons, bearing bows of steel Then they killed us, on the far horizon Horizon Horizon
