❝ The last word
Is the lost word
Why don’t you say so?
Say so
I sleep light
On these shores tonight
I live light on these shores
Elevation, don’t go to my head
Elevation, don’t go to my head
Elevation, don’t go to my head
Now you give me no trouble
And you give me no help
It is the clown
That works so well
I sleep light on these shores tonight
I live light on these shores
Elevation, don’t go to my head
Elevation, don’t go to my head
Elevation, don’t go to my head
Our lips are sealed our breath is burning
These cold wild seas have left us turning
But I sleep light on these shores tonight
I live light on these shores
Elevation, don’t go to my head
Elevation, don’t go to my head
Elevation, don’t go to my head ❞

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
