Lyrics
I got a letter from foreign parts
I broke a few Italian hearts
I recall a night in old Verona
But that’s a long way from California
She liked Madonna Del Rosario
I’d rather have Marilyn Monroe
When I saw her for the very first time
I didn’t think twice but to make her mine
And I couldn’t let her know
That I’d have to let her go
There was someone I’d left behind
I’ve been torn between
Sonoma and Sistine
Between a lover and a little peace of mind
In the Chapel of the Sacred Heart
I was walking through Renaissance art
Might have been a Caravaggio
Or something by Leonardo
Did you ever burn a lover’s notes?
For fear of lace and petticoats
I’m wise enough to know that I’ve been cruel
Read enough to know that love’s made me a fool
And I couldn’t let her know…
I got a letter from foreign parts
I broke a few Italian hearts
I recall a night in old Verona
But that’s a long way from California

Great tune. Lovely moment when the band kicks in. Sweet harmonies and very musical band arrangement. Reminds me a little of Billy Bragg and Wilco's Mermaid Ave sessions. Very pro-sounding folk CD track. Great post!
