The Nile
Woke up into a dream
And I was walking
Up and down the streets
Of Cairo
And then I heard a voice
That said I know you
It's time for you to turn
And face me
Her hair was long
Her eyes reached out and touched me
She said I know just
What it is you're after
Death is all around you
So you look for freedom
I know where to find it
Let's go to the river
We sailed upon the Nile
I was enchanted
By the beauty in her magic
She showed me that my fears were unimportant
And then she touched me
With her vision
Her skin was dark
Her voice was liquid fire
She said I am your mate
And soul's desire
Love is all around you
Light is deep within you
Life is always flowing
Let's go down the river
And I was walking
Up and down the streets
Of Cairo
And then I heard a voice
That said I know you
It's time for you to turn
And face me
Her hair was long
Her eyes reached out and touched me
She said I know just
What it is you're after
Death is all around you
So you look for freedom
I know where to find it
Let's go to the river
We sailed upon the Nile
I was enchanted
By the beauty in her magic
She showed me that my fears were unimportant
And then she touched me
With her vision
Her skin was dark
Her voice was liquid fire
She said I am your mate
And soul's desire
Love is all around you
Light is deep within you
Life is always flowing
Let's go down the river
