Princess Of The Nile
Princess of the Nile with your magic menagerie.
The song of your serpent is very familiar to me
And the sunlight at midnight shining on your apple
Reminds me of centuries past remembering
When we were both children and the Earth was our sandbox
Somewhere I knew you before
Somewhere I can't quite recall
Somewhere before Yesterday
And two is one and one is all
Weather beaten stone guards your castle by day
But your faithful manservant gave him the night for his key
And your dogs knew the magic in the step of his sandal
And the passage grew brighter as he held up his love
And you were both children and the sea was your cradle
Somewhere he knew you before
Somewhere he can't quite recall
Somewhere before Yesterday
And two is one and one is all
Phantoms on the wall stand refusing to die
In the silent holy rooms where your ancestor's ancestors lie
And you hold their future in the crook of your elbow,
As you take him for your lover in the light of the moon,
And the children he gives you will have the sky for their ceiling
Somewhere you knew him before
Somewhere you can't quite recall
Somewhere before Yesterday
And two is one and one is all
Your Abyssinian cat, standing there millennium high,
With silent tall knowing scarab green vertical eyes
And reflections inside your dazzling jewels
Seem dull after standing beside your complexion
And all the nomads in the world are your children
Somewhere you knew them before
Somewhere you can't quite recall
Somewhere before Yesterday
And two is one and one is all,
two is one and one is all
Music And Words by D. S. Crawford
* I transcribed the lyrics by mostly listening since the lyrics from the CD are really small. Then I strained my eyes to find out as much as I could. The two differences are that I capitalized "Abyssinian" since the spell check indicated that it should be capitalized and at the end I added one more "two is one and one is all" since he adds it on the record though it is not on the CD lyric page.
