The Coast of Amalfi

Light shone with a breath-taking energy

Boats bobbin' on the waterline

Dusk settled but the flies didn't bother me

I was high on the Coast of Amalfi.

We sailed Positano to Capri

Sat watching things unfold

Drank shots in the shadow of Napoli

Getting high on the Coast of Amalfi.

Scaled hills on the Island of Ischia

Seeking shelter from the sun

Pretty girls, pretty boys blow a kiss to her

She got high on the Coast of Amalfi.

Bought leather on the streets of Sorrento

Bartered goods without shame

In a dream I took a hold, didn't let it go

Life was high on the Coast of Amalfi.

I dreamed I was lost in the history

Pompei in all its glory

Life's home was a romantic mystery

Rome fell on the Coast of Amalfi.

Sailed off in a ship full of lightermen

Just flattered to deceive

I was sad, I was sad at the sight of them

I got sad on the Coast of Amalfi.

In that light you can see with a clarity

Many faults in your life

Fate smiles on the good and their charity

I got saved on the Coast of Amalfi.

My dream held this picture of beauty

My dream showed this breath-taking load

My dream had the quality of mercy

My dream had the patience of Job

My dream had this elegance and wonder

My dream paid the debts that I owed

I was high on the Coast of Amalfi

I was high on the Coast of Amalfi.
