Someday

She waits, she won't leave

Till this night is through,

Day breaks across her heart

As it shatters in two

She aches, it's no secret what love can do

She prays but finds the answer

She already knew

Feeling so alone in the night

But the lights on the Nile

Keep her dreams alive

Flown in the night

Like a soft veil of sleep to her weary eyes

She lights another candle by one so dim

She lays it on the ground

Where the others have been

Each night, she kept the vigil

Inside she knew

That fate would come between them

But what could she do?

Sleeping all alone in the night

But the lights on the Nile

Kept her dreams alive

Blown in the night,

With the warm summer breeze

On her tears she cried

Someday, when the hands of the clock

Are sleeping,

My love, I believe,

Someday, from my arms

There'll be no escape,

Our reign will begin...

She sees the city walls

Where her love is caged

But now just like a prison there is no escape

She knows that for a moment

They loved as one,

Now her reason is gone,

So she sleeps alone in the night

With the lights on the Nile

She prepares to die,

Shown in the night,

Is the light that will burn

Till the end of time

Someday, when the hands of the clock

Are sleeping

My love, I believe

Someday, from my arms

There'll be no escape

Our reign will begin...

The children of egypt, counting the cost

Their mother was fading

And still they could see

She was desperately lost

Leaving her lambs to the chill,

To sleep until...

Someday, when the hands of the clock

Are sleeping,

My love, I believe

Someday, from my arms

There'll be no escape,

Our reign will begin...

Someday...
