Capetown

She sparkles like a diamond
Look at all her people
Look at them dance, look at them laugh
Singing a song
They make like happy children
Wearing friendly faces
Everyone knows, everyone knows they belong
Where they belong
Capetown, I’m drowning in your beauty
Capetown, but my heart’s not feeling nicely
Capetown, angel black, white sin
Capetown, there’s a shadow on your mountain
Capetown, there’s a flaw in your sparkle
Capetown, there’s a crying at your crossroads
Let me in, let me in, let me in
The rush of silky color
The sound of Dixie Banjos
Mongrel melodies in quarter tones
Streets of Malay marchers
