Lyrics
THE BALLADS OF APHRODITE
You were sitting at the piano playing songs
You had a beautiful face
And a crystal clear voice
Then I found out that your lyrics were really strong
And soon I realised
That the beauty there
Was Aphrodite, the goddess of love
But what you sang was not love songs that evening
And I was wondering how that could be
Singing your ballads that night you were craving
For the happiness and the freedom of your home
How could it be that you the goddess cannot resist
Against the cruelty
Against the injustice
Aphrodite, the goddess of love
What you sang was not love songs that evening
And I was wondering how that could be
Singing your ballads that night you were craving
For the happiness and the freedom of your home
What you sang was not love songs that evening
And I was wondering how that could be
Singing your ballads that night you were craving
For the happiness and the freedom of your home
Your home.
