G
There’s laughter in the darkness
C G
Music floating in across the bay
G
He’s half listening and wondering
Em D
How he could have let her slip away
C
So long ago but still he wants to know
G C/G
If anyone has seen her
G
And he’s sitting out in the night
C D G D
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
G C
They were young and love was shining
G
Like the colours of the rainbow
G
Desire felt like choking
Em D/A
Love was smoking under the volcano
C
He can still taste her kisses
G C/G
Sweet as the red wine from Messina
G
Now he’s sitting out in the night
C D G
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
C
Seems like another lifetime
G
When they rambled along the shore
Seems like another lifetime
C
She used to call him her sweet senor
Maybe in another lifetime
G
On a pathway to the sea
D
Maybe there they’ll be
G
The crowd calls for the emperor
C G
Raise their hands to hail another king
G
But he’s been so long a wanderer
Em D
Another crowd can never mean a thing
C
He came, he saw, he conquered
G C/G
Ten thousand voices roared in the arena
G
Now he’s sitting out in the night
C D G
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina

G
He hears the chimes of history
C G
Myths of gods and men forever ringing
G
Ancient dreams in all their mystery
Em D
Wars for Sicily and Spartan women
C
In the mists of antiquity
G C
Ships of war set sail from Carthagina
G
Now he’s sitting out in the night
C D G C
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
G
Sitting out in the night
C D G
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
