There!s laughter in the darkness
Music floating in across the bay
He s halflistening and wondering

How he could have let her slip away
And he s sitting
out in the night

Looking down upon the

lights of Taormina
they were young and love was shinin'
Like the colours ofthe rainbow
Desire felt like choking

love was smoking under the volcano
Now he s sitting

out in the night

Looking down upon the

lights of Taormina
Maybe in another lifetime

On a pathway to the sea

Maybe there
thele be
But he s been
so long awanderer

Another crowd can

never mean a thing
He came,

he saw, he conquered

Ten thousand voices

roared in the arena
Now he,s sitting out

in the night

Looking down upon the

lights of Taormina
INSTRUMENTAL
He hears the

chimes of history

Myths of gods and

men forever ringing
Ancient dreams

in all their mystery

Wars for Sicily and

Spartan women
ofTaormina, Sitting out in the night

Looking down upon

the lights ofTaormina
