about

by Emily Asher/Noble and Wylie Music. lyrics by Emily Asher and Rick Asher

lyrics

Verse:
I was a girl unaware of the splendors
Of the pharaoh with golden rings
All ‘round my town his men searched for contenders
Three wives to him they’d bring

Torn from my family, held by his gates
Body draped in silver and gilded collar plates
I’d sell this jewelry, these fine and precious things
Trade them for my childhood cloak, the comfort that it brings

Chorus:
I can feel the shimmer of the alabaster wings
Soaring o’er the Red Sea and the Valley of the Kings

Tell my mother, tell my sister
I’ll fly home, just wait for me

I can feel the power in this red carnelian stone
Take me back to when I lived a simple life at home

Sunlight gleaming, father scheming, barters to provide
Pharaoh’s buying, mother’s crying, childhood lost for this young bride

Here I lie in golden thimbles of eternity
Pyramid will be my prison, never to be free

Tell my mother, tell my sister
I’m tombed in gold, don’t wait for me
