Grecian Isle
from Desert Tortoise by Matt Zeltzer
lyrics
Grecian Isle
I want to live on a lonely hill
on an ancient Grecian Isle
Surrounded by the hills and the sea
with the sails glistening in my eyes
I want to drink wine from noon to dawn
and lay my head in the sand
Forget about this busy life, just for a while
Cut like glass and hewn of sand, yellow as the blistering sun
Dark eyed girls dance in the streets, a new life just begun, just begun
I want to sleep on an abandoned beach
‘neith the ruins of a fishing boat
I want to find another name
and get lost in my dreams for a while
I want to taste the lips of fire
and be engulfed in your smoke
I want to meet my match on a Grecian Isle
Cast the nets and hope for a catch
Old hands weary from a thousand years
Bring ‘em home when the cross winds blow
Or you’re going home alone
I want to live on a lonely hill
on an ancient Grecian Isle
Surrounded by the hills and the sea
with the sails glistening in my eyes
I want to drink wine from noon to dawn
and lay my head in the sand
Forget about this busy life, just for a while
Cut like glass and hewn of sand, yellow as the blistering sun
Dark eyed girls dance in the streets, a new life just begun, just begun
I want to sleep on an abandoned beach
‘neith the ruins of a fishing boat
I want to find another name
and get lost in my dreams for a while
I want to taste the lips of fire
and be engulfed in your smoke
I want to meet my match on a Grecian Isle
Cast the nets and hope for a catch
Old hands weary from a thousand years
Bring ‘em home when the cross winds blow
Or you’re going home alone
