Track Insight / Lyrics
Guarding iron rails, I watch the day begin
Morning bustle solve the night's thin skin
Couples hold hands, striding by
Their laughter echoes, my lamp's sigh
Food vendors set up, sizzling in the air
Flavors tease the scent of morning there
Life pours out of shadowed alleys, day
My pole remains still through it all, just stays
But in my solitude, always on my mind
Vivid sketches of a life I'll never find
Alone I'll stand, lamp and square entwined
Rome's Empty Square, at dawn I'm left behind
Tourists may remark on empty scenes
A triste lighthouse keeper's endless zeal
But I delight in quieting lonely streets
Before Rome's pulse begins to beat
Food vendors set up, sizzling in the air
Flavors tease the scent of morning there
Life pours out of shadowed alleys, day
My pole remains still through it all, just stays
But in my solitude, always on my mind
Vivid sketches of a life I'll never find
Alone I'll stand, lamp and square entwined
Rome's Empty Square, at dawn I'm left behind
Temple columns greet the growing light
Heart-shaped fountains sparkle morning bright
Morning mist is lifted off the floor
By coffee shop chatter, café doors
But in my solitude, always on my mind
Vivid sketches of a life I'll never find
Alone I'll stand, lamp and square entwined
Rome's Empty Square, at dawn I'm left behind
But in my solitude, always on my mind
Vivid sketches of a life I'll never find
Alone I'll stand, lamp and square entwined
Rome's Empty Square, at dawn I'm left behind
So as I wait for nightfall's return
My pole a silhouette, the city learns
To live and laugh and love anew
While in my isolation, tales of Rome, in me, still glow.
