she waits she wont leave till this night is through day breaks across her heart as it shatters in two she aches its no secret what love can do she prays but finds the answer she already knew feeling so alone in the night but the lights on the nile keep her dreams alive flown in the night like a soft veil of sleep to her weary eyes she lights another candle by one so dim she lays it on the ground where the others have been each night she kept the vigil inside she knew that fate would come between them but what could she do sleeping all alone in the night but the lights on the nile kept her dreams alive blown in the night with the warm summer breeze on her tears she cried someday when the hands of the clock are sleeping my love i believe someday from my arms therell be no escape our reign will begin she sees the city walls where her love is caged but now just like a prison there is no escape she knows that for a moment they loved as one now her reason is gone so she sleeps alone in the night with the lights on the nile she prepares to die shown in the night is the light that will burn till the end of time someday when the hands of the clock are sleeping my love i believe someday from my arms therell be no escape our reign will begin the children of egypt counting the cost their mother was fading and still they could see she was desperately lost leaving her lambs to the chill to sleep until someday when the hands of the clock are sleeping my love i believe someday from my arms therell be no escape our reign will begin someday
