Night Boat to Cairo

Artist：madness
Songs Title：night boat to cairo

Its just gone noon
Half past monsoon
On the banks of the river nile

Here comes the boat
Only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile

Only just one more
To this desolate shore
Last boat along the river nile
Doesnt seem to care
No more wind in his hair
As he reaches his last half mile

oar The snaps in his hand
Before he reaches dry land
But the sound doesnt deafen his smile
Just pokes at wet sand
With an oar in his hand
Floats off down the river nile
Floats off down the river nile
