Letra de The Count of Tuscany (Live in London, UK 7/24/11)
Several years ago In a foreign town Far away from home I met the Count of TuscanyA young eccentric man Bred from royal blood Took me for a ride Across the open countrysideGet into my car Let's go for a drive I love the way I feel uptight Just step insideMaybe you'll recall I kind of felt curious A character inspired by my brother's lifeWinding through the hills Seeing far behind On and on we drove Down narrow streets and dusty roadsAnd last we came upon A picturesque estate On sprawling emerald hills An ancient world of times gone byNow let me introduce My brother A bitter gentleman, historian Sucking on his pipe Distinguished accent Making me uptight, no accidentI Want to stay alive Everything about this place just doesn't feel rightI don't wanna die Suddenly I'm frightened for my lifeWant to say goodbye This could be the last time you see me aliveI may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrivedWould you like to see Our secret holy place? I come here late at night To pray to him by candlelightThen viewing through the past I saw what is believed Still dressed in royal clothes A saint behind the altarHistory recalls During times of war Legend has been traced Stuck inside these castle wallsWhen soldiers came to hide With barrels filled with wine Never to escape These tombs of old, that's where they diedDown the cellar stairs I disappear Like the angel's share The end is nearCome and have a taste A rare vintage All the finest wines Improve with ageWant to stay alive Everything about this place just doesn't feel rightI don't wanna die Suddenly I'm frightened for my lifeWant to say goodbye This could be the last time you see me aliveI may not survive Knew it from the moment we arrivedCould this be the end? Is this the way I die? Sitting here alone No one by my sideI don't understand I don't feel that I deserve this What did I do wrong? I just don't understandGive me one more chance Let me please explain It's all been circumstance I'll tell you once againIt took me for a ride Promising a vast adventure Next thing that I know I'm frightened for my lifeNow wait a minute then That's not how it is You must be confused That isn't who I amPlease don't be afraid I would never try to hurt you This is how we live Strange although it seems Please try to forgiveThe chapel and the Saint The soldiers in the wine The fables and the tales All handed down through timeOf course you're free to go Go and tell the world my story Tell about my brother Tell them about me The Count of Tuscany
