Lyrics:

Egypt, I saw you
On the television
I saw your name
Written on a wall
I saw your picture
In a magazine

Egypt, can I ask you
To lend me your blue sky?
And your dreamy
Virginal tenderness?
I don't know you very well
But I really liked you

Egypt, I'm a-gonna
A-see you soon
I'm a-gonna walk on
Your foreshore

Egypt, won't you hold me
Like I held a map of you?
I learned your location
From a travel brochure
Egypt, I need your
Sophisticated silence

Egypt, I'm a-gonna
A-see you soon
I'm a-gonna walk on
Your foreshore
