Ithkos The Incredible String Band

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 to meet the dawn on Lesbos fair
Ithkos Ithkos
My merchant's task on this isle is done
I call soft evening forth
To ease up my care
And to ease up my care

Aphrodite's temple is sweet with sandarac
Bright torches start the night to praise her
Ithkos wipes his mouth and drops the wineskin
Salt wind fresh in my mind
I said salt wind fresh in my mind

Dark 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
I said just one plaintive song will match my heart
Match my heart
