[Chorus] Stay by the river My love Where the lotus opens its eyes I will bring bread Figs Sweet wine You will bring mornings that rise Stay by the river My love Till the boats forget to glide Let the wide Wide Nile Carry our names on its tide [Verse 1] You came at dawn Sand still cold Marks of stars On your shoulders Date palms swayed Slow Half-asleep You laughed once My heart answered Yours to keep [Chorus] Stay by the river My love Where the lotus opens its eyes I will bring bread Figs Sweet wine You will bring mornings that rise Stay by the river My love Till the boats forget to glide Let the wide Wide Nile Carry our names on its tide [No Verse 2] [Instrumental break] [Chorus] Stay by the river My love Where the lotus opens its eyes I will bring bread Figs Sweet wine You will bring mornings that rise Stay by the river My love Till the boats forget to glide Let the wide Wide Nile Carry our names on its tide [Instrumental break] [Chorus] Stay by the river My love Where the lotus opens its eyes I will bring bread Figs Sweet wine You will bring mornings that rise Stay by the river My love Till the stars fall into the tide Let the wide Wide Nile Carry our names side by side
