The Waters of the Nile Lyrics by Osta Love

About Time

2020

I saw you standing at the shore crying crocodile tears
I’m lowering the needle onto Tears for Fears
It’s a very mad world indeed
Good luck as you try to succeed
Everything seems wrong - know the phenomenon?
But I have to carry on
Gone is another year
How did it disappear so suddenly?
Don’t rock the boat but keep it steady
There’s nothing you can do, I’ve tried already
Like the waters of the Nile
I rise from time to time
And contemplate this life in fascination
From now on I’ll be cool, cunning and suspicious like
Bogart squinting through drawn venetian blinds
I’m gonna pull my head out of the sand
I can at least try to understand
Everything I say, overused clichés
Let the tide take me away
The current is pulling me relentlessly towards the sea
My oars are broken and my sail is full of holes
The time is running through my fingers, incessantly
Breathlessly I whisper: save our souls
Like the waters of the Nile
I rise from time to time
And contemplate this life in fascination
