Mediterranean Lady

Remains of love are all I know
Like battle scars that never go
But there was a time under this sky
Of an endless summer with you and I

Do you remember how we met?
Springtime on the island of Corfu
I was lost and asked for help
You were teaching at the local school
We talked a while and then made plans
While all the children laughed at me and you
They could see the way we felt
Much before either of us knew

Walked together hand in hand
A stranger from a foreign land, but soon
Mornings turned to afternoons
And dinners turned to making love to you, to you

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Summer days out on the beach
Cocktails on the patio at noon
You waved to me from out at sea
And I considered staying there with you
I watched the sunlight dancing through your hair
And like a ghost from history
I don't know why my heart just died
I realised that it could never be

Circumstance and broken dreams
Like satellites with laser beams from above
Tracked me down and found us out
It filled my head and made me doubt this love
This love of ours

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
You know you're beautiful when you smile
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

Seems like life has played another joke
This dream of love has left me broke again
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
What is it for?
Been dumping and I've been around
Maybe I've forgotten how to love
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Or maybe I've given up

Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
You know you're beautiful when you smile
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Now the ocean is in your eyes
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
I never meant to make you cry
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Mediterranean lady
