I was standing by the Nile
When I saw the lady smile.
I would take her out for a while,
For a while.
Oh, my tears wept 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 islands in the sun.
I will follow in her shadow
As I watch her from my window.
One day I will catch her eye.
She is calling from the deep,
Summoning my soul to endless sleep.
She is bound to drag me down,
Drag me down.

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, far 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 in her shadow, as i 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
