Kirsty Maccoll - Roman Gardens lyrics

And so she left her room In her satin shoes she was down He held her by the waist In a fond embrace she spins round Oh those silken lips Soft and pink, aching to be kissed Oh they ached to love And to be loved Was this love? Was this love? Let us dream a while in roman gardens Statues walk and talk in the pale moonlight A breath of wind stirs the surface of the lake It's so cold I am yours and you are mine tonight Vicar sat with a vacant stare In his wicker chair he was down Take a look at his open book Where the answers may be found Colonel polishing his marble tomb He'll be taken soon, taken to the seat Softly, softly creeps the mist The earth is kissed a loving touch Let us dream a while in roman gardens Statues walk and talk in the pale moonlight A breath of wind stirs the surface of the lake It's so cold I am yours and you are mine tonight Standing silent on the lawn Waiting for the dawn i am down My heart is breaking with the day She fades away, she is gone She is gone Let us dream a while in roman gardens Statues walk and talk in the pale moonlight A breath of wind stirs the surface of the lake It's so cold I am yours and you are mine tonight
