Venetian melancholy (needs music)
It was like a tale,
magic and untold,
it was before we failed,
it must´ve been love in Venice in the fall…
Dreaming at the Channel, looking at the moon,
listening to the waves of the big lagoon,
giving torrid kisses, playing “do you dare?”
hunting pigeons at the St. Mark’s Square…
(Chorus)
We were young, we were young, we were free,
two lovers - different destinies…
but I still imagine, imagine, after all,
to sit with you in the Caffe Florian
in Venice in the fall…
It was like a tale,
new and somehow old…
and our dreams, they sailed
though clouds of mist in Venice in the fall…
One life, two lovers, the Adriatic Sea,
all´s now a sweet and bitter memory…
the story of a man and a sweet young lass –
two broken hearts of Murano glass….
(Chorus)
We were young, we were young, we were free,
two lovers - different destinies…
but I still imagine, imagine, after all,
to sit with you in the Caffe Florian
in Venice in the fall…
(Bridge)
There were storms, took us apart,
two gondolas on an angry sea,
they can break this lonely heart,
but not the memories…
(Chorus)
We were young, we were young, we were free,
two lovers - different destinies…
but I still imagine, imagine, after all,
to sit with you in the Caffe Florian
in Venice in the fall…

Very nice! Love the hints that leave it open to the listener to fill in the story. Especially like the line 'two broken hearts of Murano glass….'
