Down where Egypt lies The river Nile flows Far beyond the gates of Jericho Lashambeaux, oh Said he I can't sleep at night My dreams are not my own So I tossed and turned While shadows burned I walked the streets alone Swallowed like some love-struck heartache When the drums are still Call me to the west Call me to the west Although he flashed by, bent to win His heart upon the trail Though the world loves a bloody joke True love's a fairy tale Some folks think he's lying But me I know he's true And if that out the fire We claim as power Eternity will do We are clinging to the self-same moment As the leopard's pangs God will mend his wings God will mend his wings God will mend his wings God will mend his wings Farewell Lashambeaux Why don't you take your dreams to Jericho Oh, oh ours will be the first to go Just standing round and round Rachel, lift your eyes You mustn't lose the thread 'Cause there's a world above This push and shove Or so I say it's there As he waited for us all to follow Mother dry your eyes He will surely rise He will surely rise He will surely rise He will surely rise Lashambeaux, Lashambeaux Lashambeaux, Lashambeaux Lashambeaux, Lashambeaux Lashambeaux, Lashambeaux Lashambeaux The pain will put you down Tell the story (Lashambeaux) The pain will put you down (Lashambeaux) Tell the story Lashambeaux, Lashambeaux Lashambeaux, Lashambeaux Lashambeaux, Lashambeaux
