LYRICS FOR "Night Boat to Cairo"
Night boat to Cairo
It's just gone noon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat only half afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Only just one more to this desolate shore
Last boat along the river Nile
Doesn't seem to care
As he reaches his last half mile
The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land
But the sound doesn't dampen his smile
Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand
Floats off down the river Nile
[Incomprehensible]
