I Walked Along the River Nile

Alone in a sea of faces

I waited for many a moon

To be in your tender embraces

In a song that makes me swoon

I walked across bridges

And along the river Nile

Peering over your sharp edges -

I wanted to stay a while

You whispered softly in my ear

Our story for poets to tell

And your eyes shined so clear

We knew all was going to be well

As I sit here on my wooden swing

My heart lights up in a flame

I smile because this little thing

Made my soul untamed

You love and I fall easily

I trip and land in your arms

Your touch, breathing into me,

I know will do me no harm
