He opens his eyes[00:00:16]

Falls in love at first sight[00:00:18]

With the girl in the doorway[00:00:20]

What beautiful lines[00:00:24]

Heart full of life[00:00:26]

After thousands of years[00:00:28]

What a face to wake up to[00:00:30]

He holds back a sigh[00:00:32]

As she touches his arm[00:00:34]

She dusts off the bed where til now he's been sleeping[00:00:36]

Under mires of stone[00:00:40]

The dry fig of his heart[00:00:42]

Under scarab and bone[00:00:44]

Starts back to its beating[00:00:46]

She carries him home[00:00:48]

In a beautiful boat[00:00:58]

He watches the sea from a porthole in stowage[00:01:00]

He can hear all she says[00:01:04]

As she sits by his bed[00:01:06]

And one day his lips answered her[00:01:08]

In her own language[00:01:10]

The days quickly pass[00:01:12]

He loves making her laugh[00:01:14]

The first time he moves it's her hair that he touches[00:01:16]

She asks "Are you cursed "[00:01:20]

He says "I think that I'm cured "[00:01:21]

Then he talks of the Nile and the girls in bull rushes [00:01:24]

In New York he is laid[00:01:44]

In a glass covered case[00:01:46]

He pretends he is dead[00:01:48]

People crowd round to see him[00:01:50]

But at night she comes round[00:01:52]

And the two wander down the halls of the tomb[00:01:54]

That she calls a museum[00:01:58]

But he stops to rest[00:02:00]

Then less and less[00:02:01]

Then it's her that looks tired[00:02:03]

Staying up asking questions[00:02:05]

He learns how to read[00:02:07]

From the papers that she is writing about him[00:02:09]

Then he makes corrections[00:02:13]

It's his face on her book[00:02:15]

More come to look[00:02:17]

Families from Iowa[00:02:19]

Upper West-Siders[00:02:21]

Then one day it's too much[00:02:23]

He decides to get up[00:02:25]

Then as chaos ensues he walks outside to find her[00:02:27]

She is using a cane[00:02:31]

And her face looks too pale[00:02:34]

But she's happy to see him[00:02:35]

As they walk he supports her[00:02:37]

She asks "Are you cursed "[00:02:39]

But his answer is obscured[00:02:41]

In a sandstorm of flashbulbs[00:02:43]

Rowdy reporters[00:02:45]

Such reanimation[00:03:21]

The two tour the nation[00:03:22]

He gets out of limos[00:03:24]

Meets other women[00:03:26]

He speaks of her fondly[00:03:28]

Their nights in the museum[00:03:30]

She's just one more rag now he's dragging behind him[00:03:32]

She stops going out[00:03:36]

She just lies there in bed[00:03:38]

In hotels in whatever towns they are speaking[00:03:40]

Then her face starts to set[00:03:44]

And her hands start to fold[00:03:46]

Then one day the dry fig of her heart stops its beating[00:03:48]

Long ago on the ship[00:04:10]

She asked why pyramids[00:04:12]

He said "Think of them as an immense invitation "[00:04:14]

She asks "Are you cursed "[00:04:18]

He says "I think that I'm cured "[00:04:20]

Then he kissed her and hoped[00:04:22]

That she'd forget that question[00:04:25]
