Nile Whispers

[Verse] Under Cairo's magic lantern glow Desert winds whisper tales of old Strings of oud tell of pharaohs' lore Through the sands of time They softly soar [Verse 2] Tambourines shake The sphinx's sly grin Echoing steps of lost souls within From the pyramids' shade to farmer's field Secrets in reeds A life revealed [Chorus] Oh Nile whispers Under the stars tonight With ancient tunes Bathed in pure moonlight Where the oud and the dumbek meet In desert’s sighs They find their beat [Verse 3] Down by the quarry They're hauling stones Songs of toil in rhythmic tones Camels long stride through a dusky scene With tunes of longing and dreams unseen [Verse 4] Darbukas dance in the twilight haze Scriptures of time in every phrase Fireside gazes Fingers pluck Harsh desert solace in their luck [Chorus] Oh Nile whispers Under the stars tonight With ancient tunes Bathed in pure moonlight Where the oud and the dumbek meet In desert’s sighs They find their beat
