[Verse] Woke up into a dream And I was walking Up and down the streets Of Cairo And then I heard a voice That said I know you It's time for you to turn And face me Her hair was long Her eyes reached out and touched me She said I know just What it is you're after d**h is all around you So you look for freedom I know where to find it Let's go to the river
We sailed upon the Nile I was enchanted By the beauty in her magic She showed me that my fears were unimportant And then she touched me With her vision [Chorus][x2] Her skin was dark Her voice was liquid fire She said I am your mate And soul's desire Love is all around you Light is deep within you Life is always flowing Let's go down the river
