Shadows lengthen,
rust red deepens
This dune,
hidden soon
Night to take
This flower lake
Namaqua sand
Namaqua land
Daisy yellow
Namaqua mellow
Dawn sky brightens
Daisy colour lightens
Flowers awake,
on this vast flower lake
Dusty land
Daisy land
Daisy yellow
Namaqua mellow
Flowers showing
Daisy yellow flowing
Vast blue african sky
Namaqua daisy flourishes
Rich red earth
African rain nourishes
Namaqua blue skies
The yellow daisy lies
This vast flower lake
To make your heart ache
Shadows lengthen,
rust red deepens
This dune,
hidden soon
Night to take
This flower lake
Namaqua sand
Namaqua land
Daisy yellow
Namaqua mellow
Dawn sky brightens
Daisy colour lightens
Flowers awake,
on this vast flower lake
Dusty land
Daisy land
Daisy yellow
Namaqua mellow
Flowers showing
Daisy yellow flowing
Vast blue african sky
Namaqua daisy flourishes
Rich red earth
African rain nourishes
Namaqua blue skies
The yellow daisy lies
This vast flower lake
To make your heart ache
