Someday when I awake
Someday when I awake
On top of Table Mountain
On top of Table Mountain
Like old pieces of eight
That we found in the dirt
Fly Miriam fly
We knew what it was
But not what it was worth
Fly Miriam fly
And the ages around us
All gave her praise
Fly Miriam fly
For the sound of her voice
But not what she said
Fly Miriam fly
On that disc with her name
Full of old 78’s
Fly Miriam fly
I’d fallen in love
On our first date
Fly Miriam fly
Though I don’t know a lick
Of any Xhosa clicks
Fly Miriam fly
The words that she spoke
Went straight to my soul
Fly Miriam fly
Is that a weight of mine?
To sing against injustices
If your whole life
The whole world
Has always let you down
Always drug you around
Always left you there to drown
Someday when I awake
Someday when I awake
On top of Table Mountain
On top of Table Mountain
