Day by day he caught the west wind
To ride the tide that moves when day is dawning
The boat he sails was white as foam
Beneath the sky of morning
There goes The Star of Mykonos
His ship, his true companion
But in the canyons of the deep
They have a rendezvous to keep
By the shore the girl is waiting
She sweeps the sea with eyes like beacons burning
Then one by one the ships come home
For one there's no returning
That is The Star of Mykonos
His love, his sole companion
And through the canyons of the sea
They go to meet their destiny
There goes The Star of Mykonos
His ship, his true companion
And in those canyons of the blue
They go to keep their rendezvous
To ride the tide that moves when day is dawning
The boat he sails was white as foam
Beneath the sky of morning
There goes The Star of Mykonos
His ship, his true companion
But in the canyons of the deep
They have a rendezvous to keep
By the shore the girl is waiting
She sweeps the sea with eyes like beacons burning
Then one by one the ships come home
For one there's no returning
That is The Star of Mykonos
His love, his sole companion
And through the canyons of the sea
They go to meet their destiny
There goes The Star of Mykonos
His ship, his true companion
And in those canyons of the blue
They go to keep their rendezvous
