Under a Wine-Stained Moon |
Socrates drank the hemlock |
Perhaps he didn’t mind the taste |
I guess it was a noble gesture |
Of maybe it was just a waste |
By the blue Aegean |
Like an ancient tune |
Dreams of Mycenaean heroes |
Under a winestained moon |
You’ve got this impulsive nature |
Maybe you were born that way |
Sometimes it leads you into danger |
Sometimes you can make it pay |
One a night like this one |
Fly a red balloon |
On an endless beach of summer |
Under a winestained moon |
You know that I’ll be waiting for you |
Even when I’m frail and old |
With hands that shake my wine glass |
And skin like hammered gold |
Hear the water lapping |
Like a drunk bassoon |
Beach umbrellas flapping somewhere |
Under a winestained moon |
