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 like you
Egypt, I'm a gonna
A, see you soon
Said 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
See you soon
I'm a gonna walk on
Your foreshore
