The Pogues - Girl From The Wadi Hammamat Lyrics

The Pogues Lyrics

"Girl From The Wadi Hammamat"

Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
The girl from the Wadi Hammamat
Lovely as a green parakeet
I awoke 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
On the burning desert wind

She means the world to me in a single grain of sand
Bring her 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

I cast my voice to the burning winds
Across the dunes, khamsin, khamsin
Bring her to me on desire's wings
On the burning desert wind

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