Hard contemporary folk and acoustic rock
Story behind the song
Unable to let go of a lost love, a young man travels Tuscany hoping to meet his former girlfriend
Lyrics
Alone in Tuscany
©2007 Owen Hovenden
Fingers of God touch the sky
Shadows, like a blanket, wrap the hills
A year on, I’m thinking of you still
As I lay here under a Tuscan sky
Pictures of Italy upon my shelf
I’ve watched them peel and turn to grey
Your laughter echoes in an empty room
And fades away
This was our golden dream
But now I dream alone
Alone in Tuscany
Where are you now?
Piazza Del Campo in the morning light
Neptune’s fountain in the heat
Children laughing playing in the street
Sienna is calling for the night
Romantic notions put me on a plane
All the wonders of this place
But I don’t see them as I walk around
I’m searching for your face
This was our golden dream
But now I dream alone
Alone in Tuscany
Where are you now?
This was our golden dream
But now I dream alone
Alone in Tuscany
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
