I was standing by the Nile

when I saw the lady smile

I would take her out for a while, for a while

like tears that like a child

how her golden hair was blowing wild

then she spread her wings to fly, for to fly

soaring high above the breezes

going always where she pleases

She will make it to the island in the sun

I will follow her in her shadow

and I'll watch her from my window

one day I will catch her

She is calling from the deep

summoning my soul to endless sleep

she is bound to drag me down, drag me down.

We smile and smile

laughter echoes in your eyes

We climb and climb

fruit falls softly in the pines

We cry and cry

sadness passess in a while

We roll and roll

help me roll away the stone

Heavy hung the canopy of blue

shade my eyes and I can see you

white is the light that shines through the dress that you wore

She lay in the shadow of a wave

hazy were the visions overplayed

sunlight in her eyes, but moonshine made her cry every time

Green is the colour of her kind

quickness of the eye deceives the mind

envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned

The path you tread is narrow and the trumpets sheer and very high
