The Pearl and the Parthenon Lyrics
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
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
