Weeping Lovegrass
Lyrics by Keith Gilman (USA); Music by Hywel Jones (UK); Vocals by Greg Van Kerkhof (South Africa).
Verse 1: I've known but one oasis / but, oh, I let you pass / and so through sandy spaces / I pace my hourglass.
Verse 2: I've tried to find another / but lightning never strikes / turns out I've learned that lovers / like you just don't come twice.
Pre-Chorus: Through the distance my existence is a constant prayer for rain / Yet I don't hear the wildebeest complain.
Chorus: The sun is high, my throat is dry out on the dusty plain, where the endless weeping lovegrass keeps me out of Bloemfontein.
Verse 3: Relentless dehydration / a quest to mend the past / a circular migration / emotional crevasse.
Verse 4: The break of every evening / just ends up being the same / with syncopated breathing / each time I call your name

Outro: And since you're fine without me / somewhere in Bloemfontein / I'll be on the savanna / where the weeping lovegrass reigns.
