"Ursula Of Ithaka"
lyrics by Ithaka Darin Pappas-1997
. . . . . . . .
Eight years of bad luck, no end to see
didn't have no hope, only had one dream

of a memory, I couldn't remember
so far in the past seemed like forever

was alive, but didn't have no life
endless days-and-sleepless nights

I'd found a place but needed a friend
needed repair, but had no tools to mend

was late in August, summer of confusion
sleepwalking down my street, needing a transfusion

barefooted talking to myself
my neighbors wondering about my mental health

the street was full, but I was still alone
crowds of strangers make me feel without a home

then something took my eyes up off of the ground
everyone was frozen - I couldn't hear a sound

I beleive in love at sight, but I loved before I saw
her scent alone, made my frozen heart to thaw

then she appeared floating like a cloud
I'd seen her before there was no doubt

scrolls of brown hair. godess's complexion
hazel eyes. smile resurection

I'm Ursula of Ithaka ... remember me?
we met in Cape Melissa 1200 B.C.

she wrapped her arms around me, "we meet again at last
been searching for you for 20 decades past

through Asia Africa the fifth dimension"
she felt so warm and human for an astral projection

right here on my very own street
an oasis of love began to feel complete

she was like a fresh summer rain
amnesia for twenty lives worth of pain

we soaked each other with 2700 tears
for missing each other for 2700 years

and there on the bairro alto street stones
we made love all night while the others stayed froze:

we'd lived in the village of Melissa
she was a princess, and I was a fisher

every night, smelling of fish blood
I dreamt of her love as I slept in the mud

some nights she snuck out. She came to me
she was my human blanket the cure to my disease

In the "cave of nympths" swore our love forever
til death and beyond, never to be severed

but death was not far away from me
she cried ten years when I died at sea

then forced to marry a rich tycoon
committed suicide on their honeymoon

but there on the Bairro Alto street stones
we made love all night while the others stayed froze

is she the dreamer or is she the illusion?
living deep inside the depths of my seclusion

I don't know, just know what we share
a love eternal, my walking, living prayer.
