lyrics

Your hair was longer then,
When you poured that first cup of tea
On your kitchen floor with me,
And we spoke ‘til morning.

The wild oregano
And the swallows seemed to know
Some thought your face could not quite show
When it was time to go.

The ink and paper
We folded to capture
Some piece of the rapture
Turned to ash in our palms.

San Francisco
Was so different from Paros,
From New York, and all those
Kitchen floors in between,

In the throws of
Youthful longing
For belonging,
And for something,
Anything, anything at all
To be true.
I really hoped it would be you.

The reddest wine,
The bluest sky,
Can’t answer why
You loved an idea,
Not a man.
But if there’s an island
In some ancient sea,
Where we can just be,
I’ll meet you on that shore.

We were infinite,
Or so it seemed.
Was it even real,
Or just a dream?
It makes no difference to me.
