White Desert

Every night in cairo
I've been dreaming of you
The heat of the day burns
Intense and true

But it's night in the desert
Bitter, cold, and wide
The window stands open
The wind comes inside

Ooh

The silk curtains are dancing
With the wind through the night
Waiting for dawn
To surrender to light
Till the morning comes
I keep my eyes awake
What time did you say
You'd come for my sake?

Tonight I am cleopatra
With a crate of beer in my arms
The white desert is calling
The road pulls me far

Maybe the sky will tell me
Where you are tonight
And I'll find a clue
When the last beer is dry

The cabin stands open

The canvas curtain is dancing
With the wind through the night
Waiting for dawn
To surrender to light
Till the morning comes
I keep my eyes awake
What time did you say
You'd come for my sake?

Maybe you are my lost
Mark antony
Somewhere beyond
Where the dunes meet the nile

So

Find me in the desert
You are my water
Don't you look behind you
We'll run even farther

Find me in the desert
You are my water
Don't you look behind
No one can stop us now
No one can stop us now

The silk curtains are dancing
With the wind through the night
Waiting for dawn
To surrender to light
Till the morning comes
I can dream no more
What time did you say
You'd come to my door?
