Vicolo Del Grottino

If I could hide my biggest secret

I would hide it in that little dead-end street

In that little cave of a love past

In the place where we’d meet at the start

At our cobblestone-hosted kisses

Passers-by would look in awe

Young love, they’d say

Young love conquers all

But when your lips enveloped mine

Like snakes strangling their prey

I felt trapped in time

And counted seconds until my escape

If I could hide my biggest secret

I would hide it in that little dead-end street

In that little cage of a love past

The place you first locked me up

HOME.
