John Edmond – Mashonaland Farewell Lyrics
Artist: John Edmond
Song: Mashonaland Farewell
And now I walk the Concrete apron, great skyliner standing by
Dare not turn to wave a last time lest they see my hazy eyes
Just like a flashback in the movie on a screen far in my mind
I live the precious days all over; all in a molecule of time
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka. Try not to let the sorrow tell
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka, Mashonaland, farewell
Proud were the eagles on the water
Their mighty wings embraced the sky
White hooded watchеrs of the river
No more to hеar your plaintive cry
And still I marvel at the forest;
The baobab in silhouette;
Golden sunglow on the faces
Of the folk I can’t forget
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka. Try not to let the sorrow tell
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka, Mashonaland, farewell
The copper trinkets in the window
The picture postcards of the sights;
Jacaranda littered sidewalks;
Cricket-serenaded nights
Two suntanned arms that were around me;
Lips that kissed a fleeting “why?”
Eyes that questioned me with sadness
“Must sweet togetherness just die?”
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka. Try not to let the sorrow tell
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka, Mashonaland, farewell
Goodbye, Sarai Zvakanaka
