See the people standing in the doorway See the brightlights on a summernight I can hear the music from fattie's bar I can see my past pa**ing by I had no change to say goodbye to romance I had no time to leave it all behind It was the place I knew Where my dreams came true Until they broke it down Sophiatown I can see she beens up in good street I can hear the winds before the storm I can see them coming on a winternight Breaking down the place where I was born
I had no chance to say goodbye to romance I had no time to leave it all behind It was the place I knew Where my dreams came true Until they broke it down Sophiatown It was the place I knew Where my dreams came true Until they broke it down I had no change to say goodbye to romance I had no time to leave it all behind It was the place I knew Where my dreams came true Until they broke it down Sophiatown
