Barclay James Harvest Lyrics for Song: African nights
 Lyrics for Album: Welcome To The Show [1990]
 
 
 
 9219>Driving down the road
 
 Under the southern light
 
 Looking back to see
 
 Where we've come from
 
 As we watched the sun go down
 
 Rain it fell like diamonds
 
 From Kimberley mines
 
 On the road to Jo'burg
 
 With the dying light
 
 Farewal Durban
 
 City of Natal
 
 Stopped a while to stretch my thoughts
 
 As we crossed the borderline
 
 And into Transvaal
 
 
 
 I saw the sun go down
 
 Under the southern skies
 
 Over and over
 
 I'll always remember
 
 Those beautiful African nights
 
 
 
 In the old VW
 
 We'd count the miles
 
 We travelled with a friend
 
 Whose name was Farr
 
 The stories that he told us
 
 Talked of faces
 
 Times and places
 
 Sang and played his guitar
 
 
 
 Driving down the road
 
 We hear the morning rise
 
 Leaving all the past
 
 So far behind
 
 The sound man played the Eagles
 
 As we listen
 
 "Take It Easy"
 
 Echoes on through our lives
 
 
 
 I saw the sun go down
 
 Under the southern skies
 
 Over and over
 
 I'll always remember
 
 I still hear them call
 
 No matter how far
 
 Those beautiful African nights
 
 9219>
