lyrics

I never knew what was said
the suitcase was just on the bed.
Got in the car, we drove away
I never saw you many a day

Zambia
Oh Zambia
Silver river gently flow
thru the places we used to know
down to where the rainbow feels like rain
can you put me together again

I never knew what was felt
woman alone on the copper belt
green hills so far away
she sent the letters back anyway
Emmanuel you looked after me
A Batwa soul in my memory
Kept me safe on the river bank
Now I wouldn't know who to thank

Zambia
Oh Zambia
Silver river gently flow
Follow where the eagles go
down to where the rainbow feels like rain
can you put me together again

Picking thru the bones of the past
to the four winds our lives were cast
Pieces scattered all thru the sand
I'm still trying to understand
Hotels casinos and all the rest
covering over what we loved the best
Up the river and around the bend
We'll find a place for us all to mend

Zambia
Oh Zambia
Silver river gently flow
Follow where the eagles go
down to where the rainbow feels like rain
Zambia
Oh Zambia
Silver river gently flow
thru the places we used to know
down to where the rainbow feels like rain
can you put me together again
