Lyrics of On the aventine

Cheap champagne instead of rain
A saffron dream come what will
The birds that sing in the middle of the night
While the roses bloom on the hill

Peace within and the traffic's outside
The market's closed
The day we sing in the middle of the night
While the roses bloom

A lightning storm to keep you warm
Yellow light standing still
The birds that sing in the middle of the night
While the roses bloom on the hill

Peace within and the traffic's outside
The markets are closed
The day we sing in the middle of the night
While the roses bloom

On the aventine
On the aventine hill
