Florence En Italie

Anyway
Guides are cumbersome
Novels, too long
I'm running away
I won't follow the tour
The light dancing
On the divine proportions
Of an Apollo
I hurry
Running through the ruins
I feel dizzy

Every turn I'm dazzled
Took the night train, didn't sleep much
Senses alert
My senses awaken
Accelerate and intensify
The people I meet
Always elegant
I know I have a slight accent when I speak
The cypresses and the clay
The fragile grace
Of veins in white marble

And my head is spinning
Beauty surrounds me
Then suddenly overwhelms me
Florence in Italy
And my head is spinning
Beauty surrounds me
Don't help me if I faint
Florence in Italy
Comfort
Lemon sorbet in hand
Refreshing

The treasures
Hidden in the gardens
Take time
Under the shadow
Of a palazzo I take shelter
My ice cream melts fast
The splendor
Is demanding and sometimes
It's exhausting

Every turn I'm dazzled
Took the night train, didn't sleep much
Senses alert
My senses awaken
Accelerate and intensify
And my head is spinning
Beauty surrounds me
Then suddenly overwhelms me
Florence in Italy
And my head is spinning
Beauty surrounds me
Don't help me if I faint
Florence in Italy
