The Pearl and the Parthenon |
| 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 |
