I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way,
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancinet melodies
He turned to me as if to say, Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you
CHORUS:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
(chorus)

Other commonly misheard lyrics include-
Scuse me while I kiss this guy (kiss the sky)-Jimi's purple haze.

Oh Canada
Oh Canada, we stand on cars and freeze...
"You fill out my census..."
(John Denver's Annie's Song)
"The girl with colitis goes by..."
Beatles-Lucy In The Sky
For lots of laughs- more of this kind of thing

Thanks Ricky. Mellow indeed. As I recall, this was strictly a studio band.

ToTo has always been a technicaly perfect group of musicians. No musical errors ... which musicians love. They don't overproduce their music and it always sounds 'clean'. They always sound fresh. What a great group. Have they garnered any Grammies?? Thanks for this submission!

I just started going back through my old propeller messages from when it was very sick and my replies weren't showing up--and found this gem!
Thanks for the great video! I've always loved this song.
