Giant Squid - The Pearl and the Parthenon

Текст песни

I soldiered to the top of the Acropolis
With you, my love, strapped to my chest
Before you saw year one
You saw the Parthenon
And left a shark as a gift to the Gods
Your sleep evasion
Led to our nightly excursions
Through the cobbled mazes of Athens
You were startled by the barks of stray dogs
Echoing off the ancient agora walls
Thank the Gods of Olympus
That taverna’s lights were still lit
And the inn-keeper knew
Which direction was best
Before you saw year one
You saw the Parthenon
And left a shark as a gift to the Gods
