Track Insight / Lyrics
Sun-warmed cobblestones beneath my worn gabardine boots
Beneath ancient arches, mornings dawning in solitude
I light a cigarette, exhale a vaporous cloud
Secret thoughts like smoke trail up, lost in Rome's storied air I'm allowed
I'm sheltered here, beneath your crooked stones
Awe-struck by beauty, yet carrying heavy bones
Timeless city whispering tales of long-gone lovers too
In this secret square, my world narrows to just me and you
Passersby hurry on, but I linger, drinking it in
Mosaics and carvings, labyrinthine alleys within
Morning coffee aroma mixes with the exhaust's fume
I'm a stranger in a city of echoes, but I'm not unknown
I'm sheltered here, beneath your crooked stones
Awe-struck by beauty, yet carrying heavy bones
Timeless city whispering tales of long-gone lovers too
In this secret square, my world narrows to just me and you
Sunbeams dance upon the pavement's time-worn cracks
Shadows stretch and mingle, waltzing hand in hand, just like that
I close my eyes, feel the history rise beneath my skin
In this polished marble, I unearth truths I thought were lost within
I'm sheltered here, beneath your crooked stones
Awe-struck by beauty, yet carrying heavy bones
Timeless city whispering tales of long-gone lovers too
In this secret square, my world narrows to just me and you
The cafe's awning stretches, a stage for life's dramas unrehearsed
Someone's laughter, a snatch of melody, then silence, then a hush
I've seen more dreams here crumble than I've ever laid my head
But in the impermanence, I find solace, just a moment's peace instead
I'm sheltered here, beneath your crooked stones
Awe-struck by beauty, yet carrying heavy bones
Timeless city whispering tales of long-gone lovers too
In this secret square, my world narrows to just me and you
I'm sheltered here, beneath your crooked stones
Awe-struck by beauty, yet carrying heavy bones
Timeless city whispering tales of long-gone lovers too
In this secret square, my world narrows to just me and you
Stereo pan delay lush guitar chops fade to ambient reverb
