It is her surest love
That is what she’s surest of
He’s home to stay
Never gonna go away
Her sad refrain
He’ll soon be back again
And surest love
What are those words you say
You were singing yesterday
Never gonna go away
Then that railway train
Will he ever be back again
Hear that mellow blow
From the horn and the piccolo
Surely, she’s lost her surest love
Downtown now he’s a gigolo
With her he’s left his lust-filled stain
As if forever, oh will he be back again
She mourns the loss
On this isle of Kos
She’ll paint again
Lover’s love she will abstain, abstain
She will still feel the pain
Ever will he, ever be back again
The boats have sailed
He’s left no mail
His muse and his minder
He’s off across the seas to find her
Remind her of the heroes he has slain
Never, not ever, never to be back there again
