The Hills of Sicily - Eugene Ruffolo

I came here for the light

It shimmers on the sea

I sit alone and paint my canvas

Lost inside your memory

A thousand birds in flight

I gaze up to the sky and then

I wonder if I might

See your shining face again

Hold this dream for me

Cause I'm drowning

And I can't see the future anymore

I'm down here on my knees

Hear me crying

Yeah I cry like an angel

In the hills of Sicily

These city streets at night

Are almost more than I can bear

I've got your image burning in my brain

Yeah your memory haunts me everywhere

Down among the olive trees

On those dry and sunny hills

Floating on the lazy summer breeze

So darling say you will

Hold this dream for me

Cause I'm drowning

And I can't see the future anymore

I'm down here on my knees

Hear me crying crying

But I cry like an angel

In the hills of Sicily

Cry like an angel

Cry like an angel

In the hills of Sicily

Hear me crying

Hear me crying
