I was standing by the Nile when I saw the lady smile.

B                                A      G#
I would take her out for a while, for a while.

C#                      B
Light tears wept like child.

C#                          B
How her golden hair was blowing wild.

C#                               B       Bb
Then she spread her wings to fly, for to fly.

Eb                         Db   Eb                         Db
Soaring high above the breezes, going always where she pleases.

Eb                        Db          C
She will make it to the island in the sun.

F                        Eb F                         Eb
I will follow in her shadow as I watch her from my window.

F                        Eb  D
One day I will catch her eye__.

B                         A   B                       A
She is calling from the deep, summoning my soul to endless sleep.

B                       A             G#
She is bound to drag me down, drag me down.
