Lights Of Taormina |
| There’s laughter in the darkness |
| Music floating in across the bay |
| He’s half listening and wondering |
| How he could have let her slip away |
| So long ago but still he wants to know |
| If anyone has seen her |
| And he’s sitting out in the night |
| Looking down upon the lights of Taormina |
| They were young and love was shining |
| Like the colours of the rainbow |
| Desire felt like choking |
| Love was smoking under the volcano |
| He can still taste her kisses |
| Sweet as the red wine from Messina |
| Now he’s sitting out in the night |
| Looking down upon the lights of Taormina |
| Seems like another lifetime |
| When they rambled along the shore |
| Seems like another lifetime |
| She used to call him her sweet senor |
| Maybe in another lifetime |
| On a pathway to the sea |
| Maybe there they’ll be |
| The crowd calls for the emperor |
| Raise their hands to hail another king |
| But he’s been so long a wanderer |
| Another crowd can never mean a thing |
| He came, he saw, he conquered |
| Ten thousand voices roared in the arena |
| Now he’s sitting out in the night |
| Looking down upon the lights of Taormina |
| He hears the chimes of history |
| Myths of gods and men forever ringing |
| Ancient dreams in all their mystery |
| Wars for Sicily and Spartan women |
| In the mists of antiquity |
| Ships of war set sail from Carthagina |
| Now he’s sitting out in the night |
| Looking down upon the lights of Taormina |
| Sitting out in the night |
| Looking down upon the lights of Taormina |
