The Hills of Sicily

I came here for the light
It shimmers on the sea
I sit alone and paint my canvas
Lost inside your memory

A thousand birds in flight
I gaze up to the sky and then
I wonder if I might
See your shinin face again

Hold these dreams for me
Cause I’m drownin
And I can’t see the future anymore
I’m down here on my knees
See me cryin
Yeah I cry like an angel
In the hills of Sicily

These city streets at night
are almost more than I can bear
I’ve got your image burnin in my brain
yeah your memory haunts me everywhere

Down among the olive trees
On those dry and sunny hills
Floating on the lazy summer breeze
So darlin say you will…

Hold these dreams for me
Cause I’m drownin
And I can’t see the future anymore
I’m down here on my knees
Hear me cryin
Yeah I cry like an angel
In the hills of Sicily
