lyrics

______________________________________
THE NILE

when I was a child
floating down the Nile
I knew not what I’d be

no thought of modern trials
or Cleopatra’s smile
had ever reached my dreams

before the image had a word
before the movement was rehearsed
back when there was still a chance it all meant something

gone and going still
the memories distill
to painstaking reliefs

carved in sheets at night
she sleeps on her side
I count the in-betweens

I woke to water rushing in
fingers clutching at the fringes of a
feeling there's a chance it all meant something
