Lights Of Taormina Lyrics - Tracker - Mark Knopfler

There's laughter in the darkness 

Music floating in across the bay 

He's half listening and wondering 

How he could have let her slip away 

So long ago but still he wants to know 

If anyone has seen her 

And he's sitting out in the night 

Looking down upon the lights of Taormina 

They were young and love was shining 

Like the colours of the rainbow 

Desire felt like choking 

Love was smoking under the volcano 

He can still taste her kisses 

Sweet as the red wine from Messina 

Now he's sitting out in the night 

Looking down upon the lights of Taormina

Seems like another lifetime 

When they rambled along the shore 

Seems like another lifetime 

She used to call him her sweet senor 

Maybe in another lifetime 

On a pathway to the sea 

Maybe there they'll be 

The crowd calls for the emperor 

Raise their hands to hail another king 

But he's been so long a wanderer 

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 

Photos 

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 

In the mists of antiquity 

Ships of war set sail from Carthagina 

Now he's sitting out in the night 

Looking down upon the lights of Taormina 

Sitting out in the night 

Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
