On The Aventine

Cheap champagne instead of rain
 A saffron dream come what will
 The birds that sing in the middle of the night
 While the roses bloom on the hill
 Peace within and the traffic's outside
 The market's closed
 The day we sing in the middle of the night
 While the roses bloom
 A lightning storm to keep you warm
 Yellow light standing still
 The birds that sing in the middle of the night
 While the roses bloom on the hill
 Peace within and the traffic's outside
 The markets are closed
 The day we sing in the middle of the night
 While the roses bloom
 On the Aventine
 On the Aventine Hill
