Messinian Skies

The evening sun quietly sets
To spread its final glow
Over the mountain silhouettes
And crystal crowns of snow

Land of fools and sages
Where legend never dies
Cause nothing ever changes
Under Messinian skies

Out on the waves a fishing boat
Is sailing through the night
Two headlamps on a mountain road
The distant harbour light

Land of countless ages
Where time goes in disguise
Cause nothing really changes
Under Messinian skies

Seasons come and seasons go
Taken to where the winds blow
Brought back by the tides

Sail on home, sail on home
Where seeds of our longing were sown
And the dolphin rides

The mountain tops across the bay
Are rising from the mist
As darkness fades to shades of grey
We dream and reminisce

About this land of leisure
And bittersweet goodbyes
Wish we could stay forever
Under Messinian skies
Wish that we could stay forever
Under Messinian skies
