Mr Skiffington's Athens Adventure

[Verse] One day when Mr Skiffington went walking He caught a sudden vision He saw the city of Athens like it was yesterday Then he found himself in Athens Oh And he loved it He found himself a lover A lovely Grecian girl with big brown eyes And he felt alive But his body still remained in the same place His spirit flew away and left his face And people thought that he had died Because the light had left his eyes [Pre-Chorus] But he was in the city of Athens [Chorus] When he woke up from his dream His wife had burned all his things He looked her dead in the eyes And he said "Goodbye" He packed his bags Left his wife And moved to Athens He said "Goodbye" [Verse 2] Mr Skiffington has never been happier He never thinks of his ex-wife Now He's livin' the good life He lives in a big house with his lovely lady They have three beautiful babies And their eyes are brown like hers And he feels alive He spends his days eating feta cheese And the summer sun shines upon his cheeks And in his heart There's no more hurt Because he's finally found his worth [Pre-Chorus] And he's living in the city of Athens [Chorus] When he woke up from his dream His wife had burned all his things He looked her dead in the eyes And he said "Goodbye" He packed his bags Left his wife And moved to Athens He said "Goodbye" When he woke up from his dream His wife had burned all his things He looked her dead in the eyes And he said "Goodbye" He packed his bags Left his wife And moved to Athens He said "Goodbye" He said "Goodbye" He said "Goodbye" He said "Goodbye"
