Roma

Rome, oh Rome

Where is your empire in the ground

A pile of stones

Take out the wind there's not a sound

Hundreds of years

Yet it's all stayed the same, (how)

Just different coloured clothes

And a different sounding name

The weather keeps on changing

But the sky's still there

The lights had led me to the front

And burnt me like a flare

Oh what is this anchor here

Why won't it just disappear

Driven by a fear that just won't go

And yet you come so close

Yet you're so far away

It doesn't have to be uphill

Oh what is this anchor here

Why won't it just disappear

Driven by a fear that just won't go

And yet you come so close

Yet you're so far away

It doesn't have to be uphill

Rome oh Rome

Cycles of nature you can see

We've got frail bones

We could just break so easily

Hundreds of years

Yet it's all stayed the same, (how)

Just different coloured clothes

And a different sounding name

The weather keeps on changing

But the sky's still there

The lights had led me to the front

And burnt me like a flare

Oh what is this anchor here

Why won't it just disappear

Driven by a fear that just won't go

And yet you come so close

Yet you're so far away

It doesn't have to be uphill

Oh what is this anchor here

Why won't it just disappear

Driven by a fear that just won't go

And yet you come so close

Yet you're so far away

It doesn't have to be uphill

Craters in the street

Now are things you have to keep

Saw you in my sleep

With diamonds in a rubbish heap

Craters in the street

Now are things you have to keep

Saw you in my sleep

With diamonds in a rubbish heap

And you'll never know

Things will stay untold

Some things will never be

And you'll never know

Things will stay untold

Oh what is this anchor here

Why won't it just disappear

Driven by a fear that just won't go

And yet you come so close

Yet you're so far away

It doesn't have to be uphill

Oh what is this anchor here

Why won't it just disappear

Driven by a fear that just won't go

And yet you come so close

Yet you're so far away

It doesn't have to be uphill
