Meandering like the Tiber Hand in hand we scale 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 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 to my every utterance Words have no meaning My heart was all aflutter But now it's just a thud Pork cheek and egg yolks Like ashes in my mouth This was my dream? Italy
