Won't you tell me why you're so preoccupied
What's on your mind
Just relax and try to let those worries slide
Leave them all behind
We've been sailing on stormy waters
We've been close to the line
Thinking back on how the weather caught us
Half-mast everytime
Don't you miss those misty mornings
Those idle afternoons
Can you hear the crickets calling
To a melancholy moon
And you've always talked of leaving
But suddenly it's far too soon
Ek drink my vol van die heimwee
Waar die bitterbessie bloem
And we've been camping with the walking wounded
I know the going is slow
Changing clouds obscure the moon
And the few things we think we know
We've been working in bitter water places
Trying to reclaim the land
Filling the gaps and the lonely spaces
Give a man place to stand
We're imprisoned by our expectations
Maybe its all we should know
It isn't so much the destination
But the road by which we go
And I’ve been looking at the line on the highway
I know its broken at times
But i know that somehow someway
It's connecting your heart to mine.
