Thereâ??s[G] laughter in the darkness
M[C]usic floating in across the b[G]ay
Heâ??s half[G] listening and wondering
H[Em]ow he could have let her slip aw[D/A]ay
So l[C]ong ago but still he wants to know
If anyone has s[G]een her[C/G]
And heâ??s[G] sitting out in the night
Looking d[C]own upon the l[D/A]ights of Taorm[G]ina[D/A]
They were y[G]oung and love was shining[C]
Like the colours of the r[G]ainbow
Des[G]ire felt like choking
Love was sm[Em]oking under the v[D/A]olcano
He can st[C]ill taste her kisses
Sweet as the red wine from Mess[G]ina[C/G]
Now heâ??s[G] sitting out in the night
Looking d[C]own upon the l[D/A]ights of Taorm[G]ina
[C]
Seems like another lifetime
When they rambled along the shore[G]
Seems like another lifetime
She used to call him her sweet senor[C]
Maybe in another lifetime
On a pathway to the sea[G]
Maybe there theyâ??ll be[D/A]
The crowd c[G]alls for the emperor
Raise th[C]eir hands to hail another k[G]ing
But heâ??s[G] been so long a wanderer
An[Em]other crowd can never mean a th[D/A]ing
â??
He came, he saw, he conquered
G â??/G
Ten thousand voices roared in the arena
Now heâ??s[G] sitting out in the night
Looking d[C]own upon the l[D/A]ights of Taorm[G]ina

He hears the ch[G]imes of history
M[C]yths of gods and men forever r[G]inging
Ancient dr[G]eams in all their mystery
W[Em]ars for Sicily and Spartan w[D/A]omen
In the m[C]ists of antiquity
Ships of war set sail from Carthag[G]ina[C]
Now heâ??s[G] sitting out in the night
Looking d[C]own upon the l[D/A]ights of Taorm[G]ina[C]
S[G]itting out in the night
Looking d[C]own upon the l[D/A]ights of Taorm[G]ina
