With another woman in your arms
Sitting at the edge of the bed in a room overlooking the River
You left her swooning with all your charm
I can picture you my Paolo
As the night clandestinely sets in
The velvet curtains drawn
Strong is the tang of your sin
Your face flashes in my mind my Paolo
As your words wilt in this summer breeze
Your words! Oh! Your words
They’ve now left my warm heart in an eternal freeze
You sashayed with her along the canals
Looking over your shoulder
That mystique shadow was indeed mine
The lurking Shawl I thought you’d recognize
As you crossed every line
