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
- 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 all about the huts the kind of music we played
She reminded me that "˜Flashes pass a house is well made'
I told her about the spot where all the ocean's 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
