You're like a fortress carved way up high

In some Mediterranean mountainside

So tough even Anthony Quinn was denied

And I can't take you - you're Navarone

 

Roman nose and those guns are long range

Impregnable except that once in the rain

Your pulchritude of universal acclaim

And I can't take you - you're Navarone

 

Evening lights ring around you when I stumble home

While I was out I found two reasons to love you more

 

I love the way that you handled the calls

When I was laid up in Glendale hospital

Thinking of you kept me from climbing the walls

And I can't take you - you're Navarone

 

Evening lights ring around you when I stumble home

While I was out I found three reasons to love you more

 

You're so high I can't even see

My most advantageous opportunity

I can't believe you ever pedaled by me

And I can't take you - you're Navarone
