Plains of Africa

Innocence came and went

Right out the door, just like before

And I was only just seventeen

What would I do with all of these dreams?

On the plains of Africa, the plains of Africa

I knew where I'd stand on this foreign land

Love at first sight was grand

Nothing to lose, no play at hand

And it was heaven sent, the sentiment

But second sight seemed to kill the arrangement

On the plains of Africa, I knew where I'd stand

No one else in command, on this foreign land
