Night Boat to Cairo [DVD]

As he reaches his last half mile

On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat only half afloat
Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand
It's just gone noon, half past monsoon
Floats off down the river Nile, floats off down the river Nile
Only just one more to this desolate shore
Last boat along the river Nile

Doesn't seem to care, no more wind in his hair

Oarsman grins a toothless smile
But the sound doesn't dampen his smile
The oar snaps in his hand before he reaches dry land
