Shawn Colvin - Fall Of Rome lyrics

The city is crumbling Like Rome or Pompeii And there's nothing to do But get out of the way When you know you can save no one Like an empty old bottle The ship has gone down The Titanic is sinking And the band plays on And you know you can save no one [CHORUS] Maybe a message is coming to you In the middle of nowhere from out of the blue Then cross the dark distance and lay down your guns For Rome it has fallen And morning has begun In anyone's heartache And in anyone's blues Is the beautiful feeling Of nothing to lose When you know you can save no one [CHORUS]
