New Brighton
I slipped on the pebbles on the way to the gate
Held my balance on the cuff of your shirt
You were up-set
We were going to the Port Elizabeth's port
Up on the hill, you did point was Frederik's fort
I was up-set:
Never live in fear again
No, never again
And all the seraphim
And all the cherubim
Never knew them before, don't know them now
What about my mother and her sisters?
Where was their name?
I was up-set
I rose up, sing:
Never live in fear again
No, never again
Never, never, never again
Never, never again
Never leave in fear again
No never again
And all the seraphim
And all the cherubim
(Did they burn their eyes?)
Up in the black New Brighton sky
Was a flare
Met with strangled cries
And a strange joy in the air
Did they avert their eyes?
Held my balance on the cuff of your shirt
You were up-set
We were going to the Port Elizabeth's port
Up on the hill, you did point was Frederik's fort
I was up-set:
Never live in fear again
No, never again
And all the seraphim
And all the cherubim
Never knew them before, don't know them now
What about my mother and her sisters?
Where was their name?
I was up-set
I rose up, sing:
Never live in fear again
No, never again
Never, never, never again
Never, never again
Never leave in fear again
No never again
And all the seraphim
And all the cherubim
(Did they burn their eyes?)
Up in the black New Brighton sky
Was a flare
Met with strangled cries
And a strange joy in the air
Did they avert their eyes?
