The Count of Tuscany |
| Seven years ago |
| In a foreign town |
| Far away from home |
| I met the Count of Tuscany |
| A young eccentric man |
| Bred from royal blood |
| Took me for a ride |
| Across the open countryside |
| Get into my car |
| Let’s go for a drive |
| Along the way I’ll be your guide |
| Just step inside |
| Maybe you’ll recall |
| I kind of felt curious |
| A character inspired by my brothers life |
| Winding through the hills |
| City far behind |
| On and on we go |
| Down narrow streets |
| And dusty roads |
| At last we came upon |
| A picturesque estate |
| On sprawling emerald fields |
| An ancient world |
| Of times gone by |
| Let me introduce my brother |
| I’ve been a gentleman |
| Historian |
| Sucking on his pipe |
| Distinguished accent |
| You’re making me uptight |
| No accident |
| I wanna stay alive |
| Everything about this place |
| Just doesn’t feel right |
| I don’t wanna die |
| Suddenly I’m frightened |
| For my life |
| I wanna say goodbye |
| This could be the last time |
| You see me alive |
| I may not survive |
| Knew it from the moment |
| We arrived |
| Would you like to see |
| A secret, holy place? |
| I come here late at night |
| To pray to him by candlelight |
| Then peering through the glass |
| I saw with disbelief |
| Still dressed in royal clothes |
| The saint behind the alter |
| History recalls |
| During times of war |
| Legend has been traced |
| That inside these castle walls |
| When soldiers came to hide |
| In barrels filled with wine |
| Never to escape |
| These tombs of old |
| That’s where they died |
| Down the cellar stairs |
| I disappeared |
| Like the english heir |
| The end is near |
| Come and have a taste |
| A rare vintage |
| All the finest wines |
| Improve with age |
| I wanna stay alive |
| Everything about this place |
| Just doesn’t feel right |
| I don’t wanna die |
| Suddenly I’m frightened |
| For my life |
| I wanna say goodbye |
| This could be the last time |
| You see me alive |
| I may not survive |
| Knew it from the moment |
| We arrived |
| Could this be the end? |
| Is this the way I die? |
| Sitting here alone? |
| No one by my side |
| I don’t understand |
| I don’t feel that I deserve this |
| What did I do wrong? |
| I just don’t understand |
| (I just don’t understand) |
| Give me one more chance |
| Let me please explain |
| It’s all been circumstance |
| I’ll tell you once again |
| You took me for a ride |
| Promising a vast adventure |
| Next thing that I know |
| I’m frightened for my life |
| Now wait a minute man |
| That’s not how it is |
| You must be confused |
| That isn’t who I am |
| Please don’t be afraid |
| I would never try to hurt you |
| This is how we live |
| Strange although it seems |
| Please try to forgive |
| The chapel and the saint |
| The soldiers in the wine |
| The fable’s and the tales |
| All handed down through time |
| Of course you’re free to go |
| Go and tell the world my story |
| Tell them about my brother |
| Tell them about me |
| The Count of Tuscany |
