Bjork - The Arabian boy

It was in the nighttrain in Cairo Where I found an arabian boy Who since that day never left my thoughts I love him He told me stories from his past And sang of the water in the oasis and rivers He drew pictures with magical lines I love him There was spring and sun The next day left I to look for him We went down the Nile We didn't need a car Just a dromedary He went and showed me the pyramids Right by edge of Sahara sands And his eyes shone by the white stones I love him By the bank of the Nile we walked and sang About lifes joy, beauty and love Im inspired by other languages I love him There was spring and sun Birds sung in choir I look for him We went down the Nile We didn't need a car Just a dromedary He left me with tears in his eyes On the railway station that day When I was burning of love I knew I would never see him again I often dream of my fair boy And life is sweet in his presence He has grown, because the years go by I love him Here back in Iceland i cried in lonliness And searched for marks to remind me of him I see his face in sticks and stones I love him There was spring and sun The next day went I to look for him ... We went down the Nile We didn't need a car Just a dromedary He left me with tears in his eyes On the railway station that day When I was burning of love I knew I would never see him again I often dream of my fair boy And life is sweet in his presence He has grown, because the years go by I love him Here back in Iceland i cried in lonliness And searched for marks to remind me of him I see his face in sticks and stones I love him There was spring and sun The next day went I to look for him ... We went down the Nile We didn't need a car Just a dromedary
