Through The Eyes Of Vincenzo

The stone house is a memory of my yesterday
On the wall hangs a picture of a soldier and one of Christ
The ship was large when I came to America
The red brick road was forever gone

I saw no colors I heard no voices of threat
This was a celebration of the new world
The sadness and joy in the faces of the new world

Through the eyes of Vincenzo
Giants lived in the sky
Through the eyes of Vincenzo
Guns were only in the movies
Through the eyes of Vincenzo
Elvis was alright

I hear the cries
The city of Angels is up in smoke
Uncle Cosmo just retired gold watch and chain
The ship was large when I came to America
The red brick road was forever gone

I was a lover I was a player of sin

Time can become the beast when your searching
Only a young heart can feel no pain

Through the eyes of Vincenzo
Giants lived in the sky
Through the eyes of Vincenzo
Guns were only in the movies
Through the eyes of Vincenzo
Elvis was alright, alright

The ship was large when I came to America
The red brick road was forever gone

I saw no colors I heard no voices of threat
This was a celebration of the new world
The sadness and joy in the faces of the new world

Through the eyes of Vincenzo
Giants lived in the sky
Through the eyes of Vincenzo
Guns were only in the movies
Through the eyes of Vincenzo
Elvis was a friend of mine
