Verse

Set in motion my imagination’s miles

A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile and my

Young trials lead me sailing down this stream

Of hidden songs and steam and my

- Piano it floats and echoes

A moonbeam through the kite she sent

Read ‘Is your wooden boat in sight?’

And while I replied ‘it’s not’

It was in fact not far from right outside

I would surprise her wake her up and rise her

Go swimming in the night’s horizon then dry her

Offer the familiar passage of my outstretched hand

Refrain

‘Say when you staying home’ she said

‘Why not come on my boat instead?’

 ‘Cos I’m tired of all your currents and your tides

 Your moods creating whirlpools

 And you’re in love with the ride and I

Want - some - peace and quiet!’

Verse

So we fought a while caught our breath a while

I told her how the purple flowers glow along the river side

She told me all she wanted was me home with some time

I showed her how the sky was only water inclined

I told her all about the huts the kind of music we played

She reminded me that ‘Flashes pass a house is well made’

I told her about the spot where all the ocean’s collide

She said that ‘You could have that with me every night’ and so

Set in motion my imagination’s miles

A million lights expose those magic cities on the Nile and my

Young trials leads me sailing down this stream of hidden songs and steam and my

- Piano it floats and echoes

Refrain

‘So when you coming home’ she said

‘Why not come on my boat instead?’

‘Cos I’m tired of all your currents and your tides

Your moods creating whirlpools

And you’re in love with the ride and I (need you)

Outro

you have to figure out the rythm for yourself.

you play Am G and the C you play as long as Am and G together ...

then you play F C and G you play as long as F and C together ...

at the very last beat you've to play something like F A C G

i hope you get it.

repeat this till the end.

Peace
