Italian Summer

The rose stood out, red against the golden wall The sun comes up through the silken drapes The room begins to glow All in cream-coloured ivories and soft yellows You say, "Hello", put down that guitar, handed me a rose At the end of the Italian summer, it rains fast and it rains hard The wind blows right through you, it tears you apart Oh, it's so romantic, hey, it's so soulful The rain falls down, and the thunder rolls The sun fades out and the mountains grow tall The mists rush in and they take it all From the islands, you see Li Galli and Capri I remember it all, love was everywhere You just had to fall At the end of the Italian summer, it rains fast and it rains hard The wind blows right through you, it tears you apart Oh, it's so romantic, hey, it's so soulful The rain falls down, and the thunder rolls At the end of the Italian summer, it rains fast and it rains hard The wind blows right through you, it tears you apart Oh, it's so romantic, hey, it's so soulful The rain falls down, and the thunder rolls At the end of the Italian summer, it rains fast and it rains hard The wind blows right through you, it tears you apart Oh, it's so romantic, hey, it's so soulful The rain falls down, and the thunder rolls The sun fades out, and the mountains grow tall And the mists rush in and they take it all From the islands, you see Li Galli and Capri I remember it all, you just had to fall
