[Intro]
[atmospheric pads, vocalizing female voice]
(Ah... ah... ah...)
[Verse 1]
[driving kick drum, synth bass enters]
Habibi close your eyes
Underneath the velvet sky
Golden sands and ancient sighs
Shadows dance upon the stones
In this desert all alone
[Chorus]
[full percussion, plucked string riff]
I can feel your phantom hand
Sifting through the timeless sand
Lost inside this neon light
Waiting for the morning light
Take me back to the Nile
Let me dream for a while
In the dust of the stars
We will heal all our scars
Feel the rhythm (ah-ah)
Feel the glow (ah-ah)
Where the ancient rivers flow
[Verse 2]
[percussion thins out, synth pads swell]
Hieroglyphs of love we made
In the quiet cosmic shade
Time is moving like a ghost
To the things I miss the most
[Chorus]
[full arrangement returns]
Take me back to the Nile
Let me dream for a while
In the dust of the stars
We will heal all our scars
Feel the rhythm (ah-ah)
Feel the glow (ah-ah)
Where the ancient rivers flow
[Bridge]
[plucked string melody solo]
Bright bones whisper over the dunes
Calling us home to the old tunes
[Outro]
[heavy reverb on vocals]
Take me back to the Nile
Let me dream for a while
In the dust of the stars
We will heal all our scars
Feel the rhythm (ah-ah)
Feel the glow (ah-ah)
Where the ancient rivers flow
Don't forget me in the sand
[music fades out]
