Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, twinkling Lee
Can't see the right roads when the streets are paved
The old slave mill
Might grind slow but it grinds fine, yeah
[Verse 2]
African Herdsman, why linger on?
Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on
Retired slave man will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart
Yes, how quick, we have to part
[Verse 3]
The remembrance of today
Is the sad feeling of tomorrow
Oh
Oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
African Herdsman, seize your time
I'm taking illusion on the edge of my mind
I'm taking losers down through my life
Down through my life, yeah
Yes, how quick we have to part
[Verse 5]
Did they part?
Yes, they part
In remembrance of today
[Verse 6]
African Herdsman, why linger on?
Just concentrate 'cause heaven lives on
Retired slave man will look with a scorn
With a transplanted heart
Yes, how quickly, have to part
[Verse 7]
In remembrance of today
Brings sad feelings of tomorrow
Yes, how quickly we have to part
Lead me on, oh, Lord, I pray to you
[Verse 8]
