autum leaves
falling down
they're all dead
gone totally brown

Rain falling
cold and grey
makes me shiver
feeling numb

Cold wind blowing
through my hair
hitting my face
icy and sharp

The night falls
covers the pale sun
all light has gone
won't ever return

A warm fire
bruning the cold away
giving some hope
the winter will pass

There was once you
waking down these streets
living you life
so different to mine

These streets are full
of dust and dirt
the heat everywhere
a boiling city

People rushing everywhere
the noise of cars
to noisy for my ear
busy people everywhere

Tourists running
cameras flashing
children screaming
doves all around

How was it back
back in your time
when you lived here
in the eternal city

No cars
but coatches all around
long dresses for men and women
the aera of Ceasar

There still is
a magic touch
in all old ruins
I somehow can feel you

This city is yours
you built it yourself
will always be your masterpiece
athough you're long time gone

Once there were Romans ...
