"Weekend In Rome" lyrics - THE DARKNESS

[Intro:]
Meandering like the Tiber
Hand in hand, we scaled 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

[Chorus:]
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
Oh, you didn't even stumble
Took my love to the Colosseum to watch it crumble

[Chorus:]
Weekend in Rome, I have seen you finally
Weekend in Rome
Weekend in Rome, oh, I still love you
Italy

[Outro:]
The weight of expectation
Love buckles like a sandal
The upturned fist of a snake gesticulating wildly at my every utterance
Words have no meaning
My heart was all a-flutter, but now it's just a thud
Pork cheek and egg yolks like ashes in my mouth...
This was my dream

Italy
