1. I was standing by the Nile
   B                    A
   Whe I saw the lady smile.
   B                            A     As
   I would take her out for a while, for a while.
   
   C                         B
2. Light tears wept like a child.
   C#                               B
   How her golden hair was blowing wild.
   C#                            B   B
   Then she spread her wings to fly, for to fly.
   
   Es                        C#
3. Soaring high above the breezes,
   Es                        C#
   Going always where she pleases.
   Es                        C#    C
   She will make it to the island in the sun.

4. I will follow in her shadow
   F                       Es
   As I watch her from my window.
   F                       Es   D
   One day I will catch her eye.

5. She is calling from the deep,
   B                              A
   Summoning my soul to endless sleep.
   B                        A      As
   She is bound to drag me down, drag me down.
