lyrics
The ferry left Piraeus in a salt-white line Your key still hung by the bowl with the cracked iced tea My shirt dried on the chair in the noon-hour shine At the corner kiosk, the shutters slept on me The fan turned slow above the tiled floor Three olives on a plate, one spoon in the sink I heard the hills go quiet through the door And watched the ceiling lights begin to blink I stayed in town I stayed in town I stayed in town I stayed in town The fruit stand split its melons on a metal tray Bus four passed empty, licking dust from the curb I counted pool towels folded in the hallway And wrote your name on a receipt in Greek and blur The fan turned slow above the tiled floor Three olives on a plate, one spoon in the sink I heard the hills go quiet through the door And watched the ceiling lights begin to blink I stayed in town I stayed in town I stayed in town I stayed in town At Syntagma, the benches held my weight A warm coin clung to my palm all day Your sandals vanished from the hallway gate But the salt on the window stayed I stayed in town I stayed in town I stayed in town I stayed in town
