She waits, she won’t leave
Till this night is through,
Day breaks across her heart
As it shatters in two
She aches, it’s 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
There’ll 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
There’ll 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
There’ll be no escape,
Our reign will begin...
Someday...
