Mr. Kamikaze's in Africa for 4 months building schools. He made this composite of me and one of his pics from a previous trip to the "dark continent". I don't dare imply that I wish he were here cause that would be selfish, but if he were to cut his trip short as he said he might, then I'd feel only slightly guilty about it. We only saw each other for 4 weeks before he left but it was really intense. Right now, I feel like I've been left hanging and I don't know whether I'm going to feel better or worse about the situation as the weeks go by. The only thing I can say for sure is that our timing sucks.AFRICA by TOTO
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like a leopardess above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
[Chorus]
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
[Chorus]
