Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I saw the water wake
Under Table Mountain’s shade
Your dress caught the wind
By the market lanes
Fish on the braai
Salt on your skin
You said, “stay a little”
I said, “I’m in”
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, let the night come down
Slow on the harbor now
Oh, you pull me close
And the whole place knows
[Chorus]
Capetown, Capetown
Hold me like this now
Capetown, Capetown
Don’t let me go now
Salt in the air
Your hand in my hand
Capetown, Capetown
I could stay in this place
[Verse 2]
Gull cries over the pier
Feet on the wooden boards
Laughing with your friends
Till the moon came forward
Red wine stain
On my white shirt sleeve
You wrote your name
Where the waves could read
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, let the night come down
Slow on the harbor now
Oh, you pull me close
And the whole place knows
[Chorus]
Capetown, Capetown
Hold me like this now
Capetown, Capetown
Don’t let me go now
Salt in the air
Your hand in my hand
Capetown, Capetown
I could stay in this place
[Bridge]
[Filtered break]
When the dawn moves in
Will you still be here?
When the road gets long
Will you keep me near?
[Final Chorus]
Capetown, Capetown
Hold me like this now
Capetown, Capetown
Don’t let me go now
Salt in the air
Your hand in my hand
Capetown, Capetown
I could stay in this place
Capetown, Capetown
You feel like home now
