Egypt -

Egypt, I saw you

On the television

I saw your name

Written on a wall

I saw your picture

In a magazine

Egypt, can I ask you

To lend me your blue sky?

And your dreamy

Virginal tenderness?

I don’t know you very well

But I really liked you

Egypt, I’m a-gonna

A-see you soon

I’m a-gonna walk on

Your foreshore

Egypt, won’t you hold me

Like I held a map of you?

I learned your location

From a travel brochure

Egypt, I need your

Sophisticated silence

Egypt, I’m a-gonna

A-see you soon

I’m a-gonna walk on

Your foreshore
