Girl from the Wadi Hammamat The Pogues

[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
