The Star of Mykonos

by Katja Ebstein

on The Star of Mykonos (1974) Nur der Wind kennt meine Träume - Hits & Raritäten (2010)

Day by day he caught the west wind
The righter tide that moves when day is dawning
The boat, its sail was white as foam
Beneath the sky of morning

That was 'The Star of Mykonos'
His ship, his true compagnion
But in the canyons of the deep
They have a rendez-vous to keep

By the shore the girl is waiting
She sweeps the sea with eyes like beacons burning
Then one by one the ships come home
For one there's no returning

That is 'The Star of Mykonos'
His love, his sole compagnion
And through the canyons of the sea
They go to meet their destiny

There goes 'The Star of Mykonos'
His ship, his true compagnion
And in the canyons of the blue
They go to keep their rendez-vous
