The wine is poured, but the glass stays cold,Tales of a love that was never told.Like an Aegean town when the summer departs,Silence is the rhythm that breaks our hearts.

The sun dips low on the cobblestone street,Where the salt of the sea and the old spirits meet.A bouzouki wails in a minor key,Carrying secrets from the coast to me.
