Will you go ahead to the aventine

In the holly red in the night

Dirt under my shoe from the old at heart

Right under you, grinning in the dark.

You carried my heart in the night

To bury the wave in the tide

You carried me onto the fields.

There is a grove, there is a plot

Deep in the snow, breaking your heart

One step ahead, a thousand miles

A trail ablaze to the aventine.

You carried my heart in the night

To marry the wave with the tide

You carried me onto the fields.

You carried my heart in the night

To bury the wave in the tide

You carried me onto the fields.

Play it down, down, down...

Play it down, down, down...
