If only you could see me, in faded jeans
here in the harbor of Piraeus,
holding a glassful of red wine.
After our fight,
only three days before, I took a flight to Athens,
wanting to prove I could make it even without you.
Alone in Greece – on a road, destination unknown.
That’s my life, how I feel, not looking back.
Alone in Greece – lost between Sun,
Wind and Sea,
and only, quite rarely, just for an instant,
longing for you.
I’m a stranger here, and yet I’m among people
telling me: Come and make yourself at home
Might be that I will forget
in this way what I’m really lacking.
I dream about being free
but I notice without you it will always be but a dream -
for the sun warms just the skin,
but my heart is frozen.
Alone in Greece – on a road, destination unknown.
That’s my life, how I feel, not looking back.
Alone in Greece – lost between Sun,
Wind and Sea,
and only quite rarely longing for you
just for an instant.
Alone in Greece – lost between Sun,
Wind and Sea, but at some time
I shall miss you so much and I shall come back to you.
