Lyrics
Fire In Cairo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Slowly fading blue, the eastern hollows
Catch the dying sun, night time follows
Silent and black, mirror pool
Mirrors the 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
Burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo
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.I.N.C.A.I.R.O, F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O, then the heat disappears and the mirage fades away
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O, F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O, F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O, F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O, F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O
Burn like a fire in Cairo, burn like a fire, fire, fire, fire
Blaze like a fire in Cairo, blaze like fire, fire, fire, fire
Flare with a wonderful light like a fire in Cairo
Burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo
