The Shadow Of The Mountain

Intro: Last night I dreamed again that I was by your side I felt your tender kiss and with your lips on mine My world became complete again Beneath the shadow of the mountain   We were lovers till the dawn was on the sea But with the morning sun the dream had disappeared And I awoke and still believed that you were here But soon the day will come again   Beneath the shadow of the mountain I’ll be with you when my soldier’s work is done When the summer winds begin to blow That is when I will be sailing to my home To the olive trees and the golden corn That whispers in the fields up in the hills Beyond the place where I was born And here in Rome the talk is all about the war As men of Caesar we have heard those words before And though I’m strong my heart belongs Beneath the shadow of the mountain   And my lover who is waiting there for me When the summer winds begin to blow That is when you’ll see the sails that bring me home To the olive trees and the golden corn That whispers in the fields up in the hills   Above Pompeii where I was born      I will return   Beneath the shadow of Vesuvius We’ll be together till the day we die..... Last night I dreamed again that I was by your side.......
