Cairo Blues |
| Cairo, Cairo |
| Cairo is my baby’s home |
| See, women in Cairo, women in Cairo |
| Sure don’t dance, they don’t dance alone |
| I should have never lent you my 45 |
| I guess my lesson is not to lend |
| There’s a big needle going over the line |
| And for a time you have a friend |
| But stone cold silence in the room means the record is at its end |
| You’re turning it over so many times |
| It’s never going back into its sleeve again |
| There’s two sides to every story |
| But it seems like you’ve got ten |
| When I get no letters, it’s the Cairo blues you send |
| Cairo, Cairo |
| Cairo is my baby’s home |
| See, women in Cairo, women in Cairo |
| Sure don’t dance, they don’t dance alone |
| Now I know that every time you get lonesome |
| You go and fill yourself to the brink |
| Find yourself a man in a suit and tie |
| Who’ll introduce you to what he drinks |
| He’s answering your questions funny now |
| So you’ll wonder how he thinks |
| He sees his reflection in your skin |
| You’re gonna see yours in the hotel sinks |
| Staring back, the Cairo blues it never blinks |
| Cairo, Cairo |
| Cairo is my baby’s home |
| See, women in Cairo, women in Cairo |
| Sure don’t dance, they don’t dance alone |
| Now I’m looking at those thin winter trees |
| And they’re looking like railings for the sky |
| I got my bare hands in my coat pockets |
| And it’s so cold that I could cry |
| When I see that forest falling, all I hear is firewood |
| And it’s crackling louder than that record ever could |
| But it don’t drown out those Cairo blues for good |
| Cairo, Cairo |
| Cairo is my baby’s home |
| See, women in Cairo, in Cairo |
| They don’t dance alone |
