The Pogues - Girl From the Wadi Hammamat lyrics

Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream The girl from the Wadi Hammamat Lovely as a green parakeet I awake alone again In the desert of my dreams A fertile oasis I have seen I cast my voice to the burning winds Across the dunes Khamsin Khamsin Bring her to me on desire's wings On the burning desert wind She means the world to me In a single grain of sand Bring a camel to this man Perched on a bough her tresses hang down The girl from the Wadi Hammamat She is as sweet as a green parakeet Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
