Mother City
Oh, Mother City
It's an honour to be sitting
At your table again
So fine and so fitting
For me, a fool in love
Oh, Mother City
You look so pretty
When the light hits your face
It makes me dizzy
'Cause I'm just a fool in love
Oh, fairest Cape
I'll take a boat out in the bay
Just to see your pretty face
For a time is coming
When I'll have to leave this place
Oh, Mother City
It's such a pity
Tomorrow I'll drift away
For another city
Oh, can't I stay gently rocking on those waves?
The South Easter in my hair
The vineyards fill the air
And I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
In love
Oh, Mother City
I'm so far and so busy
But my thoughts often return
To the streets where I learned
I'm just a fool in love
