Meandering like the Tiber
Hand in hand, we scaled 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
Oh, 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 at my every utterance
Words have no meaning
My heart was all a-flutter, but now it's just a thud
Pork cheek and egg yolks like ashes in my mouth
This was my dream

Italy
