Aventine

Will you go ahead to the Aventine?
In the holly red, in the night
Dirt under my shoe from the old at heart
Right under you, grinnin' in the dark

You carry my heart in the night
To bury the wave in the tide
You carry me onto the field

There is a grove, there is a plot
Deep in the snow, breaking your heart
One step ahead, a thousand miles
A trail ablaze to the Aventine

You carry my heart in the night
To bury the wave in the tide
You carry me onto the field (ooh, ooh)
You carry my heart in the night (ooh)
To bury the wave in the tide
You (you) carry me onto the field

Play it down, down, down
Down, down
Down, down, down, down
Play it down, down, down
Down, down
Down, down, down, down

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
