The sunset's carved, into a Grecian sky
Into clouds of marble
With veins of orange rays of light
Commissioned by you and I
And I'm not one for a throwaway line
But tonight I love you and I mean it
On this sacred day, of St Constantine
My heart's still for a change
As if my worry's taken leave
And it's as foreign as the liturgy
The priest echoes through the valley
Over loudspeaker from the Monastery
And the procession bleeds down the mountainside
I saw the faithful sweat
All overdressed and working overtime
Keeping the embers of their faith alive
I remember what that feels like
Only little of my faith survived
The lime tree stands at the foot of the stairs
Grown through thistle, stone, wind and storms
Proud as a monument
A symbol of the life we share
The pleasure of the fruit it bears
The struggle makes it sweeter yet
In the gentle gaze of your Aegean eyes
Lies a certainty on which I confess
I've come to rely
The look that everything's gonna be alright
You know, you know it's no lie
Tonight, I love you and I mean it
On the anniversary of nine years past
You said any fool can fall in love
But few can make it last
Given the chance they let it come undone
And of all I've heaped in darkness
You're the bright and golden sun
And as the day fades into monochrome
Windows light in the valley
Becoming a galaxy of our own
Tonight, I love you and I mean it
