Sitting by the pool,

I'm waiting here in plain solitude



Count the people hanging

'round the neighbourhood



I can recognise the fence

between the girls and the guys



That's the local way

to keep their children wise



Chorus:

The night draws a picture

of you in my arms



The sound of the discos

and humming of the cars



That's alright



When you come I will be open

to the touch of your love



There's a certain sound

when everything you need can be found



That fills your ears

when your little world starts coming around



The hot African air

it doesn't seem to mind nor to care



to bring some coolness

on the sheets two lovers share



Chorus



Chorus



Chorus
