Cruise the Nile
oh
come
my love
and take
a trip with
me upon a
sailing ship
we'll sail the
mighty River Nile
relax, take my hand
awhile, magical times
and spooky night tombs
historical sites and temples
where sands of desert extend
in all of these incredible regions
the reeds as they
rush by azure
waters
reflect
the
sky
Valley of the Kings, the land upon which we touch in awe
ancient Egyptian feluccas are silent on the water
stretch to try to find our one genuine drive
the need to reach out and stifle the blaze.
