Roman Holiday
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm your hospital, I’m your silver cross
Tell me what to be, tell me how to talk
Patti wasn't lonely, Robert wasn't lost
Put me on a rope, take me for a walk
Roman holiday, every time it rains
Roman holiday, I’ll take away your shame
I'm not afraid to tell you, what I want
I'm not afraid of anything, I want it all
Never leave me out here for too long
Put me in your movie, pin me to your wall
Roman holiday, every time it rains
Roman holiday, we're all Rainey anyway
She said: Please, think the best of him
Please, think the best of me
There are police in the museum
Roman holiday, every time it rains
Roman holiday, we don't feel the pain
She said: Please, think the best of him
Please, think the best of me
There are police in the museum
She said please
