More (Soundtrack for the film) 1969

The Nile Song

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.
