    Oarsman grins a toothless smile
    Only just one more to this desolate shore
    Last boat along the river Nile
    Doesn't seem to care,
    no more wind in his hair
    As he reaches his last half mile
    The oar snaps in his hand before
    he reaches dry land
    But the sound doesn't deafen his
    smile
    Just pokes at wet sand with an oar in his hand
    Floats off down the river Nile
    Floats off down the river Nile
    All aboard,
