Last summer was just beautiful,
I was lying around in some kind of bay
The sun was like fire on your skin,
You smell the water and nothing is loud
Somewhere in Greece,
A ton of white sand
On my back was just your hand
After two or three weeks I began to feel it,
I inhaled the feeling of life there
All my thoughts were turning around
What used to be important now looked so silly
You sit under an olive tree
Playing with a stone
It’s just so different than back home.
And sometime I’m going to stay there
Let everything go and fall down around me
Leaving my home forever more
On this I give you my word,
No matter how many years go by,
Someday I’m going to just stay there.
In our hectic world
It’s all about power and money
Finances and banks get me down
The bill never quite picks itself up
And someday you’ll ask me
Why I am so tormented
And why I am not already far away, God knows where.
But it’s not so far to get there
One more thing to do, says vanity
But before I have a heart attack
Or find myself at forty wearing diapers
I’ll be lying somewhere on the beach,
A bottle of red wine in my hand
And put my feet in the white sand
And sometime I’ll just stay there ...
