Fire in Cairo lyrics

Slowly fading blue

The eastern hollows

Catch the dying sun

Night-time follows

Silence and black

Mirror pool

And mirrors are lonely place

Where I meet you

See your head in the fading light

And through the dark your eyes shine bright

And burn like fire

Burn like fire in Cairo

(x2)

Shifting crimson veil

Silken hips

Slide under my hand

Swollen lips

Whisper my name

And I yearn

You take me in your arms

And start to burn

F-I-R-E in C-A-I-R-O (x3)

Then the heat disappears

And the mirage fades away

F-I-R-E in C-A-I-R-O (x8)

Burn like a fire in Cairo

Burn like a...

...fire (x3)

Blaze like a fire in Cairo

Blaze like...

...fire (x3)

Flare

Burn like fire

Burn like fire in Cairo
