Strawbs - Through Aphrodite's Eyes lyrics

Cousins-Cronk There's a young man who sings to the wilderness moon And his song of lament bears a harrowing tune There are dreams to be treasured when moments arise Through Aphrodite's eyes. She was born on the blood of the foam on the sea Instilled with the grace of a flowering tree He appeared as a saint but she read his disguise Through Aphrodite's eyes. There were moments of peace as they lay in the sun And the cypress trees signalled the battle was won Nurtured by truth, she considered her prize Through Aphrodite's eyes. While his manner of speech spoke of total neglect She sought her revenge for his lack of respect He confessed to his sins as she feigned her surprise Through Aphrodite's eyes. Tortured by love, he wept as she smiled Led to believe that she carried his child Condemned was the victim, she grew to despise Through Aphrodite's eyes.
