The first time I saw her She was wearing scarves of white That little spark between us Took only seconds to ignite And then it occured to me But suddenly I was standing there alone On the Spanish steps of Rome I kept searching through the allies Kept searching through the catacombes that night I closed my eyes and threw a coin in the fountain She was nowhere insight I wandered through the holy city Like a beggar beneath the moon lit dome Near the Spanish steps of Rome I heard a voice as I looked through my fingers And saw the old monsigneur He gave me his blessing and said to me: "Don't try and please her" And then I heard her singing like some diva Parched upon her throne On the Spanish steps of Rome Now I know I should have listened When he warned me - He warned me not to follow I noticed that the statues eyes Were all sunken and hollow She let hose young wolves do their dirty deeds While she lay inside her home On the Spanish steps of Rome
