remains of love are all i know
like battle scars that never go
but there was a time under this sky
of an endless summer with you and i

do you remember how we met
springtime on the island of corfu
i was lost and asked for help
you were teaching at the local school
we talked a while and then made plans
while all the children laughed at me and you
they could see the way we felt
much before either of us knew

walked together hand in hand
a stranger from a foreign land but soon
mornings turned to afternoons
and dinners turned to making love to you
to you

oh oh oh oh oh
la la la la la la la

summer days out on the beach
cocktails on the patio at noon
you waved at me from out at sea
and i considered staying there with you
i watched the sunlight dancing through your hair
and like a ghost of history
i don't know why
my heart just died
i realised that it could never be

circumstance and broken dreams
like satellites with laser beams from above
tracked me down
and found us out
and filled my head
and make me doubt this love
this love of ours

oh oh oh oh oh
mediterranean lady
oh oh oh oh oh
you know youre beautiful when you smile

oh oh oh oh oh
medterranean lady
oh oh oh oh oh
la la la la la la la

seems like life has played another joke
this dream of love has left me broke again
ah ah ah ah ah
but what is it for
been dumped
been hurt
i've been around
maybe i've forgotten how to love
ah ah ah ah ah
maybe i've given up

oh oh oh oh oh
mediterranean lady
oh oh oh oh oh
la la la la la la la

oh oh oh oh oh
mediterranean lady
oh oh oh oh oh
you know you're beautiful when you smile

oh oh oh oh oh
mediterranean lady
oh oh oh oh oh
you know the ocean is in your eyes

oh oh oh oh oh
mediterranean lady
oh oh oh oh oh
i never meant to make you cry

oh oh oh oh oh
mediterranean lady
