Especially when the moon is new
Especially when I fake it with my crew
Especially when the truth is stuck like glue
That's when I need to be with you

Especially when the town is dead
Especially when I see my empty bed
Especially when I don't say
What should be said
That's when I need to be with you

Yakhal'ingan'ekwazulu
The child cries in Zululand kwase Kwasa
Until the morning light hum-o hum
I don't want to be away from you

Especially when no one can see thru me
Especially when no one can see me thru
Especially when I've lost the key
That's when I need to be with you

Especially when the sun comes up each day
Especially when you smile and say
Every second now is ticking away
That's when I need to be with you
Yakhal'ingan'ekwazulu
The child cries in Zululand kWASE KWASA
Until the morning light hum-o hum
I don't want to be away from you
