Italian Summer

The rose stood out

Red against the golden wall

The sun comes through the silken drapes

The room begins to glow

All in cream-colored ivories

And soft yellows

You say hello

Put down that guitar and 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

Ooh 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

Ooh 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

Ooh 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

Then 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
