about

Vancouver Island in Canada and the Greek island of Santorini are the dual settings for this story, in which the narrator is captivated by the splendour of the Pacific coast while recalling how the music of two Greek sisters once helped to heal his broken heart. An acoustic song with Greek musical flavourings.

lyrics

Florentina and Paloma
In water off Tofino orcas breach
Cappucino, a flaky French croissant
The swooping gulls release their plaintive screech
Pacific skies. Now what more could you want?
Two women walk along the windswept beach
An image: Santorini restaurant

Florentina played the concertina
As Paloma sang of tolerance and peace
On that tranquil night
The stars were shining bright
And in your heart of darkness there was light.

You were a broken spirit passing through
The victim of a lover’s web of lies
Such sweetness from those lips of honeydew
Such wisdom in those words and sparkling eyes
You found yourself among the lucky few
To sing with her beneath Aegean skies

Florentina played the concertina
As Paloma sang of tolerance and peace
On that tranquil night
The stars were shining bright
And in your heart of darkness there was light.

An eagle now emerges from the trees
Paloma’s name evokes the gentle dove
In silence now it circles on the breeze
How long before it swoops down from above?
To carry off its limp and lifeless prey
As you meander down the path of love

Florentina played the concertina
As Paloma sang of tolerance and peace
On that tranquil night
The stars were shining bright
And in your heart of darkness there was light.
