Set in motion my imagination´s miles
A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile and my
Young trials lead me sailing down this stream
Of hidden songs and steam and my
- Piano it floats and echoes
A moonbeam through the kite she sent
Read ´Is your wooden boat in sight?´
And while I replied ´it´s not´
It was in fact not far from right outside
I would surprise her wake her up and rise her
Go swimming in the night´s horizon then dry her
Offer the familiar passage of my outstretched hand
´Say when you staying home´ she said
´Why not come on my boat instead?´
´Cos I´m tired of all your currents and your tides
Your moods creating whirlpools
And you´re in love with the ride and I
Want - some - peace and quiet!´
So we fought a while caught our breath a while
I told her how the purple flowers glow along the river side
She told me all she wanted was me home with some time
I showed her how the sky was only water inclined
I told her about the huts the kind of music we played
She reminded me that ´Flashes past a house is well made´
I told her about the spot where all the oceans collide
She said that ´You could have that with me every night´ and so
Set in motion my imagination´s miles
A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile and my
Young trials leads me sailing down this stream of hidden songs
and steam and my
- Piano it floats and echoes
´So when you coming home´ she said
´Why not come on my boat instead?´
´Cos I´m tired of all your currents and your tides
Your moods creating whirlpools
And you´re in love with the ride and I
A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile and my
Young trials lead me sailing down this stream
Of hidden songs and steam and my
- Piano it floats and echoes
A moonbeam through the kite she sent
