I swear I heard this song before and I think it was at the same spot by the coast of Amalfi.... Lots of memories left behind there. So sad that this legendary singer left us. Rest in Peace my friend. ❤
Light shone with a breath-taking energy; boats bobbin’ on the waterline. Dusk settled but the flies didn’t bother me, I was high on the coast of Amalfi. We sailed Positano to Capri, sat watching things unfold, Drank shots in the shadow of Napoli, gettin’ high on the coast of Amalfi. Scaled hills on the Island of Ischia, seeking shelter from the sun, Pretty girls, pretty boys blow a kiss to her, she got high on the coast of Amalfi. Bought leather on the streets of Sorrento. Bartered goods without shame. In a dream I took a hold, didn’t let it go; life was high on the coast of Amalfi. I dreamed I was lost in the history - Pompeii in all its glory. Life’s home was a romantic mystery. Rome fell on the coast of Amalfi. Sailed off in a ship full of lightermen, just flattered to deceive. I was sad, I was sad at the sight of them. I got sad on the coast of Amalfi. In that light you can see with a clarity many faults in your life Fate smiles on the good and their charity. I got saved on the coast of Amalfi. My dream held this picture of beauty. My dream showed this breath-taking load. My dream had the quality of mercy. My dream had the patience of Job. My dream had this elegance and wonder. My dream paid the debts that I owed. I was high on the coast of Amalfi. I was high on the coast of Amalfi. The Vision
Fabulously done by Steve… absolute love it….. also it makes it closer to me as I’ve been on the Amalfi Coast with my wife …. We had an outstanding time… thanks for the memories Mr Steve Harley 🎸🎶🎶🎶👌
What beautiful lyrics coupled with lovely music the master does it yet again who else could visit the coast of amalfi and transfer the experience into song
