Heart of the Nubian Sands

Instrumental Intro

Chorus

Sailing on the blue

Deep in the heart of the blue

Gliding along with you

I see the moon rising on the river

I see the reeds sway by the river

I see the spirit in the river

Verse 1

Palms casting shade

Sands are turning red across the heat

Oud playing loud

Water moving slow under the wooden boat

Chorus

Sailing on the blue

Deep in the heart of the blue

Gliding along with you

I see the moon rising on the river

I see the reeds sway by the river

I see the spirit in the river

Verse 2

Dusty hands find a way

Holding the dry earth while the children sing

Sun sinking down

Ancestors watch from the ancient bank

Chorus

Sailing on the blue

Deep in the heart of the blue

Gliding along with you

I see the moon rising on the river

I see the reeds sway by the river

I see the spirit in the river
