Ithaca Lyrics by Beatenberg

The Hanging Gardens of Beatenberg

2014

[Verse 1]
When I was nineteen
There were places that I wanted to see
When I was twenty
Cornell University
And Kefalonia
Didn't mean anything to me
I read the classics
But I didn't read thoroughly

[Chorus]
When I go to Ithaca
When I come back
From America
You'll be with me

[Verse 2]
You found freedom
In a chamber of the library
You dig the roots up
With the old etymology
In Kefalonia
And the blue Ionian sea
The way I know ya
Is like an old old olive tree

[Chorus]
When I go to Ithaca
When I come back
From America
You'll be with me

[Outro]
When I go to Ithaca
When I come back
To South Africa
You'll be with me
