Lyrics Demis Roussos

Demis Roussos

On the Greek Side of My Mind

At night

The forest doesn't sleep

And lo... a tree was taught to speak

There is a tree and there is an island

On the Greek side of my mind

On the Greek side of my mind

Storm uprooted the tree

And it lay dead on the sand

But in truth it did not die

Come with me

Come with me and have no fear

And to it's stories lend an ear

For the tree spoke about ways that walk

On the Greek side of my mind

It dreamed about goddess

Goddess dyin' on a star ridin' high

It roamed up the mountains beyond

When you may see

You may see people shall be as masters free

On the Greek side of my mind

I've drawn signs on the sand

And through the pebbles

A light was streaming

I do not know when she came the gleaming

Who lives within?

Devils that sleep sound below the seven seas?

A prisoner?

A man set free?

A part of you

Something, just something of me

Those may you find

Those may you find

On the Greek side of my mind

At night the forest doesn't sleep

And lo... a tree was taught to speak

There is a tree and there is an island

On the Greek side of my mind

Storm uprooted the tree

And it lay dead on the sand

But in truth it did not die

Come, come with me

Come with me and have no fear

And to it's stories lend an ear

For the tree spoke about ways that walk

On the Greek side of my mind

It dreamed about a goddess

Dyin' on a star ridin' high

It roamed up the mountains beyond

Where you may see

You may see people shall be the masters free

On the Greek side of my mind

I've drawn signs on the sand

And through the pebbles

A light was streaming

I do not know when she came the gleaming

Who lives within?

Devils that sleep sound

Below the seven seas?

A prisoner?

A man set free?

A part of you

Something, something of me

Those may you find

Those may you find

On the Greek side of my mind
