Lyrics
"The Box" Meryl Leppard.
I have a box
It's wooden
Smooth and hexagonal
Mosaic on the top
And when I open it up
I can smell the heat and the dust
Of Africa.
I have a box
It's precious to me
It?s a keep-sake for special things
Mosaic is on the top
And when I open it up
I am in the heat and the dust
Of Africa.
Why did I have to go away
My body's back
But my heart lies somewhere else
How can I get it back again
I smell the dream
And I close the lid
I remember all the love I hid
In Africa.
I have a box
It's wooden
And it?s smooth and hexagonal
With mosaic on the top
And when I open it up
I?m in the heat and I am in the dust
Of Africa.
