Hold the night. Hold my love.
Hold my dreams for mankind.
Hold my fears tonight. Keep
the fleeing night. Keep my
care.
See my mood. Hold the night,
beautiful one. Please, hold
the fleeting night.
Don't let this night walk
away in the dark. Hold the
night.
Hold my dreams for
all humankind and our dying
environment. Hold the night,
beautiful one.
Cape of Good Hope darling,
let it be the night of a
bountiful new dawn for you
and for me, for everyone
across the planet, for our
bleeding beautiful blue earth.
Hold the night, I beg of you.
Tell me you will hold the night
till dawn.
Please, tell me you will
hold this love of mine till
the night sings of a refreshing,
healing, new morning for humankind.
Please, Cape of Good Nomathemba
darling, hold my uplifting care
till the fleeing night smiles
into heaven's blessed morning.
Just hold the night!
Hold this night!
Please, hold the night,
Cape of Good Hope lady!
The night of the
spirit's deep.
