lyrics by Roger Waters (1969)

I was standing by the Nile, when i saw the lady smile
I would take her out for a while, for a while
Like tears that like a child, how her golden hair was blowing wild
then she spread her wings to fly, far to fly
soaring high above the breezes, going always where she pleases
she will make it to the island in the sun
i will follow in her shadow, as i watch her from my window,
one day i will catch her
she is calling from the deep, summoning my soul to endless sleep
she is bound to drag me down, drag me down


thats pretty much it from what i hear. i will eventually tab out the middle section and
if anyone has it already maybe we can tab it out.
