Meandering like the Tiber
Hand in hand we scale the Spanish steps
The night air thick and sultry
I kiss you beneath the Italian moonlight
This was my dream

There was turbulence in our descent
As we flew in
I'd hoped to witness beauty there
In the ruins

Weekend in Rome
I have seen you finally (Weekend in Rome)
Weekend in Rome
Oh, I still love you
Italy

I thought you'd fall for me
You didn't even stumble
Took my love to the Colosseum
To watch it crumble

Weekend in Rome
I have seen you finally (Weekend in Rome)
Weekend in Rome
Oh, I still love you
Italy

The weight of expectation
Love buckles like a sandal
The upturned fist of a snake
Gesticulating wildly to my every utterance
Words have no meaning
My heart was all aflutter
But now it's just a thud
Pork cheek and egg yolks
Like ashes in my mouth
This was my dream?

Italy
