Come, have a drink with me –
Care can swallow love,
And tasks devour time
Enough of cups of tea!
Your eyes, ever more sublime,
Dancing bright above
A brown and friendly beer
Will soon meet mine, my dear
Intoxicatingly.
You beside me on the balcony
The dark Aegean sea at dawn
And ouzo and water and cigarettes...
The garden settles in for the evening
The sun’s gone down behind the trees
The still light sky won't let the night bring...
