La Bocca della Verita'


Thank you for making things clear
As there was always something unsaid
Now my questions have all been answered
Although not the way I imagined

I won't complain or lament my greatest years
Though they surely were
I won't suddenly cherish what I've lost
I've been no angel, I'll take the blame

I'll just remember our trip to the Mouth of Truth
When we were forestalled by a wedding
We laughed with the people in the party
Though we could not understand the bride's reply

We embraced as the young couple kissed
And walked hand-in-hand to the outdoor cafe
Never realizing that we did not
Even know the right questions to ask

Last night you finally
Made your hard admissions
Your hand resting in the maw
And lo, you were not bitten

You said you love me
And of this I have no doubt
But then you said
We would never again be we

La Bocca della Verita'
sank its teeth into me
But I know as you slowly set me free
So too will the truth give release
