Santana - The Nile lyrics

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

Death 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

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
