[Verse 1]
When I was a child
Floating down the Nile
I knew not what I'd be
[Verse 2]
No thought of modern trials
Or Cleopatra's smile
Had ever reached my dreams
[Chorus]
Before the image had a word
Before the movement was rehearsed
Back when there was still a chance it all meant something
[Verse 3]
Gone and going still
The memories distill
To painstaking reliefs
[Verse 4]
Carved in sheets at night
She sleeps on her side
I count the in-betweens
[Chorus]
I woke to water rushing in
Fingers clutching at the fringes of a
Feeling there's a chance it all meant something
