 Lyrics
 NIGHT BOAT TO CAIRO
 (miss 26 bars)
 
 Its just gone noon
 half past monsoon
 on the banks of the river Nile.
 
 Here comes the boat
 only half afloat
 oarsman grins a toothless smile.
 
 Only just one more 
 to the desolate shore
 last boat along the river Nile.
 
 Doesn't seem to care
 no more wind in his hair
 as he reaches his last half-mile.
 
 The oar snaps in his hand
 as he reaches dry land,
 but the sound doesn't deafen his smile.
 Just pokes the wet sand
 with an oar in his hand, 
 floats off down the river Nile.
 
 Floats off down the river Nile.
 
 
 
 I apologise for any errors as I do not have much time.
