Platys Yialos

Dying grass sways in the perpetual wild winds
(Blowing like they’re trying to tip the car)
Platys Yialos
Love that’s just for us
Platys Yialos
Love that’s just for us
Oh, oooh
Twilight sky
Lilac washing pale to green
Moonlight glow
Sparkling the waves out in the bay
Platys Yialos
Love that’s just for us
Platys Yialos
Love that’s just for us
Oh, oooh
The crooked road is winding on home
As we leave today behind
It’s getting dark and the silence is growing
But you’re on my mind
The crooked road is winding on home
As we leave today behind
It’s getting dark and the silence is growing
But you’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind

Meagre Heights

And you fail in your search for the absent fire
That was lost many years before your search had begun
And you rise for a few short hours, drinking steadily
But the fall will far outweigh the meagre heights you will attain
At the crowded bar
And you wind up crashing like a fuel-drained plane
On a mountainside
And she waits by the phone. She’s petrified
She has spoken to her family and her friends in trepidation
Then she stands, puts her coat around her trembling shoulders
And she goes out into darkness and to danger on this night
In search of you
And she finds you broken like a torn-up train
On a final ride
Oooh, oooh
And you fail
As you rise
And you fall
And you wind up crashing like a fuel-drained plane
On a mountainside

Another Girl

Sunset on Serifos
The sky’s indigo tonight
We’ve walked the beaches here
And we
We have swam the bays
I’ve fallen in love with another girl
And she looks just like you
But she comes alive in the island air
And she smiles everywhere she goes
Driving on broken roads
We go exploring in the North
Where wild winds blow the sands astray
And no one is around
I’ve fallen in love with another girl
And she clings tight to me
As we try to stand as the waves crash down
And she smiles every time the sea winds blow
Handfuls of grass seed fall through my fingers
As I watch a woman enchanted by her own homeland
I can see a woman enchanted by her own homeland
Sailing by the Cyclades
We leave Serifos behind
Your tears are testament
To what it means to say goodbye
I’ve fallen in love with another girl
And she holds hands with me
As we watch the island slip from view
