lyrics

Somewhere in the city Dante's looking at the sky
And joining up the dots made by the stars to pass the time
Although it's not forever it could be a little while
But it's all about the moment when Beatrice smiles

And the river turns a corner
Where the streetlights show the way
And I'm following the former
Just to see how it behaves
Dante's gone out fishing
Maybe trying to catch a ride
And darling if you miss him
He will be with you tonight

Over at the station Dante spends his afternoons
Writing her a letter saying come and see me soon
He doesn't give up hoping, just forgets to say goodbye
As he's lost inside a picture watching Beatrice smile

And the river turns a corner
Where the streetlight shows the way
And I'm following the former
Just to see how it behaves
Dante's gone out fishing
Maybe trying to catch your eye
And darling if you miss him
He will be with you tonight

Hiding from the winter in the pleasure of her kiss
Dante signs an autograph, pretending it's not his
Yes it may be stupid but you know that's just his style
And I guess it makes him happy watching Beatrice smile
