Lyrics

Minotaur

Sitting on a boat decrepid

Gently rolling with the waves

From tankers and grey ships they're miles away

Watching fog came rolling over

Upthrust bits of inner earth

Juniper and ancient live oak trees

Seagulls swoop for bits of flotsam

Drifting on receding tides

I am only miles but lives away

Miles away and lives away

Can't you hear me Ariadne

Bring to me your golden skin

Driving down a burning highway

Underworlds and gold dead grasses

Vineyards laid with opulence and curves

Vineyards laid with labyrinths

There stalks the minotaur

Come to take our youth with ancient times

I grow old and bitter grey

And all I know it slips away

Except the memory I have of you

True love is our only shield

True love is our only shield

And true love is our sword

Last time
