the nile song

Pink Floyd

I was standing by the nile
When I saw the lady smile
I would take her out for a while - for a while

Oh, my tears wept like a child
How her golden hair was blowing wild
Then she spread her wings to fly - oh to fly

Soaring high above the breezes
Going always where she pleases
She will make it to the islands in the sun

I will follow in her shadow
As I watch her from my window
One day I will catch her

She is calling from the deep
Summoning my soul to endless sleep
She is bound to drag me down - drag me down
