Limestone walls and a checkerboard floor
Fig trees grow by the blue front door
I live with you and without you
Cypress tall as a castle tower
Church bells ring to count the hours
I live with you and without you
How we waited all day long
For you to come along
Rosewater tea in the afternoon
Hammock sway like a pale cocoon
I live with you and without you
Raise a paper lantern high
Blow the sparks out as they fly
Go and take a bath in the cool clear water
With a sunflower child and a lavender mother
Markets in the morning and the bars at night
Gladiator ghosts in a bloody bull fight
I live with you and without you
Ruby red plum and an apricot
Better buy four, one is never enough
I live with you and without you
How I wandered through this town
Trying to track you down
