Lyrics

[Chorus 1] Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream The girl from the Wadi Hammamat Lovely as a green parakeet I awoke alone again in the desert of my dreams A fertile oasis I have seen [Chorus] I cast my voice to the burning winds Across the dunes, khamsin, khamsin Bring her to me on desire's wings On the burning desert wind [Verse 2] She means the world to me in a single grain of sand Bring her camel to this man Perched on a bough, her tresses hang down The girl from the Wadi Hammamat She is as sweet as a green parakeet [Chorus] I cast my voice to the burning winds Across the dunes, khamsin, khamsin Bring her to me on desire's wings On the burning desert wind [Outro] Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream The girl from the Wadi Hammamat The girl from the Wadi Hammamat The girl from the Wadi Hammamat Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream Sometimes it seems like a beautiful dream
