Nubian Love

Dedicated to my friend Eileen who went to Egypt on holiday and fell in love with a Nubian Guide

Nubian Love

 

Day is drawing to an end; thoughts of you are in my head

Lay down on my pillow close my eyes

It should come as no surprise, drifting into paradise

Clear pictures all around its divine

Walking through the sand dunes distant drums play a tune

Stars shining in the sky above

Happy Valley in the room wake me up it’s not a dream

I pray my love for you is not blind

 

 

Way up north of Sudan your Kosh tribe did survive

Building flat roof houses of sun dried brick

Made their life on the Nile, travelling north all the while        

Settling in the sands near Aswan

Opulence is in their smile, substance they care for life

Little happy children all around

I’d give my life up in the West, just to lay down where you rest

Hope some day I will be your wife

 

 

Life to me don’t mean a thing if I cant let you in

I think of your gorgeous big brown eyes

Your caring nature got me memorised, without you I think I’ll die

Your pure honesty the lovely things you say

I’m sure I want to spend my life with someone that’s so kind

It pains my heart when you are not near

Things are clear in my head; look forward to our life ahead

Need you to make me feel secure

 

My beautiful Nubian lover you’re in my life

Without you in my mind I’ll not survive

My beautiful Nubian lover makes me alive

I give my heart to you be my guide
