I dream of Rome,
I wish it home
Where I can do
what I'm not told
Water is wide and streets are kind
And proud to meet everyone's eye
And there, no one seems to care at all
Why a man can make me
feel so small
Though I've never been
It's got to be better than this
I dream of romance, strong and sweet,
to drown in myth and poetry
To spend all day in some dark cafe,
and smoke until my eyes turn gray
Cause here, no one seems to
think of all they just go
They always need to take that call
But most of the time,
they're not sure if I'm even here
So I disappear
And it's clear, I'm no different here
In Rome, I could just stand still
They'd notice me
Our common tongue, no use to us
He'd never listen long enough
Low in his head, my heart he read
He didn't understand a word I said
And he never seemed to feel at all
Nevertheless,
I wonder quite where he went wrong
And most of the time,
he'd rather I not interfere
So I'll disappear
And I'll see that I'm not needed here
But across the world from where he stands
Is where I'll be
So I dream of home
I wish it room
