"The Lights Of Sicily" lyrics

"The Lights Of Sicily"

There was a spark
And it lit up the streets of a strange town
I was alone but I wasn't alone
There in the dark
I found my heart half-beating
In a white-stone room by the ocean

I lay on the bed in all my clothes just thinking
Into your smile I fell too soon
Our lips were dry and the kiss was missing something
I looked outside at the jumbo moon

I can see the ground get far below me
I can see the lights of Sicily
Up into the air before I'm ready
Up into the air so I can breathe

Honey and wine. It's a beautiful combination
Far away high, like you're lost in a dream
Ready to feel I thought you seemed to know me
I guess the past takes a moment to burn

I can see the ground get far below me
I can see the lights of Sicily
Up into the air before I'm ready
Up into the air so I can breathe

In the smokey haze of the backstreet bar
Playing "The Queen is Dead" and Mazzy Star
Never know you now I got so far from here

'Cause I can see the ground get far below me
I can see the lights of Sicily
Up into the air before I'm ready
Up into the air so I can breathe

What do I want?
Won't take it off from no one
What do I need?
I'm howling on from no one

Up into the air so I can breathe
I can see the lights of Sicily
Up into the air so I can breathe
