1. I was not satisfied with the Nile being merely content
And I moved beyond contentment burdened with blame

2. But when we parted and determination blew us apart
I was satisfied with a phantom of you coming in peace

3. So double for me the solace of your imagination
Who visited, greeted, then rose and bid farewell

4. By my soul and family from an imagination that pained me
So it cured my sickness then appeared and made me sick

5. Oh what sorrow I did not know where to find guidance for us
Nor did I know when he turned away where he intended

6. May God protect him in every situation
And if my eyes shed tears at our separation, it would be blood
