River Mist

Tired Venetian
in a river mist
you depart the gondola
from where you once kissed
before you were dismissed

No masquerade ball                                   Strait roads
will now see you at all                               lead from Rome
yo're still in love with a ghost                    where you took yor moped
you love her the most                                 with me alone

                                                                    We're on the way to Naples
Once the toast the toast                                Neopolitans
of Venetian way                                           we can talk different languages
now the river mist clouds you                      cosmopolitans
upon the canal they say
time with cure you                                       Now we know we're better than
will pour a healing                                       those of ancient Rome
ointment of you                                            who died of lead poisoning
but wou dout it                                              by eating out at home
since you were ousted
you don't know what to do                           Now we're on our way to Naples
                                                                      better than back in the day
                                                                      travel's our staple diet
River mist will cloud you                             on the Neopolitan way
upon Venice canal they say
that yo'll get over her                                    We're on our way
in any time of day                                          on our way
but yo're still in love                                      we're on our way to Naples today
with ghost of her                                             back in the day
you loved her the most                                   they never took a holiday
and no-one will remember you
once the toast the toast the toast                     We're on our way to Naples
                                                                         overtaking clouds of gray
                                                                         we're on our way to Naples
River mist will cloud you                                 now that its May
in a natural masquerade
because yor love has never been                      Now the Spring sunshine
or you hope that its delayed.                             is briter in the South
                                                                          we're going home folowing
                                                                          the old river mouth

                                                                          We're on our way to Naples
                                                                           we're on our way to Naples today
                                                                           we're on our way to hear
                                                                           what the waves have to say
                                                                           we're going to take with us
                                                                           weather of Italy today
                                                                            on holiday.
