Girl From The Wadi Hammamat Lyrics

Pogues
Waiting For Herb
Girl From The Wadi Hammamat
(Andrew Ranken/Jem Finer)

Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
Lovely as a green parakeet
I awake alone again
In the desert of my dreams
A fertile oasis I have seen

I cast my voice to the burning winds
Across the dunes Khamsin Khamsin
Bring her to me on desire's wings
[ Pogues Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
On the burning desert wind

She means the world to me
In a single grain of sand
Bring a camel to this man
Perched on a bough her tresses hang down
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
She is as sweet as a green parakeet

CHORUS
Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
