about

For my Steve. We found the little chapel in Florence where Dante reputedly met his Beatrice when they were
both pre-pubescent. We, on the other hand, were decidedly older. But love is still love ….
And isn’t it odd how Ponte Vecchio sounds much more romantic than Old Bridge?

lyrics

Sunlight over the old bridge
We walk hand in hand
Step into the piazza
Where the statues stand wondering how they came to be
wondering why you stay with me
wondering what else we should see this time.
Water under the old bridge
We watch the tourists flow
Into the rooms of paintings
Constant come and go wondering how the sky’s so blue
wondering why I stay with you
wondering what we’re going to do next time.
And there in the darkened alley way there’s a door
As if no one else had ever been here before
Stepping inside a cool fresh place
Step inside into sacred space
Step inside, and come face to face with love.
Full moon over the old bridge
Walking side by side
Listening to all the echoes
Of all the times we’ve cried wondering how we’ve never learnt
wondering why we’ve been so burnt
knowing that at least it is our turn this time.
For there in the darkened alleyway there’s a door
As if no one else had ever been here before
Stepping inside a cool fresh place
Step inside into sacred space
Step inside, and come face to face with love.
We walk over the old bridge
Close in heart and mind
Discovering in this city
More than we’d dreamt we’d find Love is still love, if you’re old or young
love is love, a song being sung
love is love, and we’ve just begun this time.
