Lyrics for Fire In Cairo

Slowly fading blue The eastern hollows Catch the dying sun The night-time follows Silence 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 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 Solar 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 a Fire, fire fire, fire Flare Burn like fire Burn like fire in Cairo
