The Waters Of The Nile Songtext
von Osta Love

I saw you standing at the shore crying
Crocodile tears
I′m lowering the needle onto
Tears for Fears
It's a very mad world indeed
Good luck as you try to succeed
Everything seems wrong
Know the phenomenon?
But I have to carry on

Gone is another year
How did it disappear so suddenly?
Don′t rock the boat but keep it steady
There's nothing you can do, I've tried already

Like the waters of the Nile
I rise from time to time
And contemplate this life in fascination


From now on I′ll be cool, cunning and suspicious like
Bogart squinting through
Drawn venetian blinds
I′m gonna pull my head out of the sand
I can at least try to understand
Everything I say, overused clichés
Let the tide take me away

The current is pulling me relentlessly towards the sea
My oars are broken and my sail is full of holes
The Time is running through my fingers, incessantly
Breathlessly I whisper:
Save our souls

Like the waters of the Nile
I rise from time to time
And contemplate this life in fascination

Like the waters of the Nile
I rise from time to time
And contemplate this life in fascination
