The Incredible String Band - Ithkos lyrics
Sardis(Oud Tune) Lesbos-Dawn Lesbos-Evening Aegean Sea Dreams Fade Port of Sybaris Go down Sybaris Huntress Hold my gaze I sailed out from Sardis just one day past Ithkos Ithkos Sailed ot meet the dawn on Lesbos fair Ithkos Ithkos My marchant's task on this isle is done I call soft evening forht To ease up my care Aphrodite's temple is sweet with sandorac Bright torches start the night to praise her Ithkos wipes his mouth and drops the wineskin Salt wind fresh in his mind Bark brown eyes has Ithkos From Sardis newly come The carmined lips of Lesbos fail to please And through the noisy night Just one plaintive song will match his heart The beautiful Aegean sea Brings out a weeping need in me I can't stand by Like a thief in the night While that aching lovely light Shines on Dreams fade now, a new day rings Trade pulls the galleon ever on To rich Sybaris, port of our call Beyond the blue Aegean How sweet the sight of peopled shores To a wanderer as I Kown from here to Lydia far Pale Sybaris knows not my tread And fear stalks in my heart For reason unknown Gotta come right out and say it Pale Sybaris I bear you great scorn Tlakin' 'bout your fluted pillars and your muted life It's worse to me Than Death's own chariot rollin' Oh hold my gaze light of day That my thoughts they will not stray To Hippolyta The vows that set her free Denied me It was right there in Sybaris famed That I met with her who's named Hippolyta Oh hold my gaze bring not the sight Of that awful wondrous night Far outside the city walls Hte Huntress Dance does call Hippolyta And the vows that set her free Denied me |
