                                                                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.
