Lyrics:
The angel of St. George
He wanted to take your picture
The exhibition wasn’t over
No it was much more of a fixture
I never wanted it to end
I never wanted it to end

We saw the city from the water
At the dying of the day
When you learned you were a daughter
And you didn’t have to pay
I never wanted it to end
I never wanted it to end

I see the light return to your eyes
In the city that rides upon the water

I had a vision of St. Mark
With the tourists in a line
The benediction that he spoke
‘May you live in interesting times’
I never wanted it to end
I never wanted it to end

When we lost ourselves in Venice
I think you found yourself
So don’t you ever let me catch you
Putting yourself back on the shelf
I never wanted it to end
I never wanted it to end

I see the light return to your eyes
In the city that rides upon the water

The kitten outside the door
Has been lingering like a ghost
And I know it wants some more
And that’s what I want the most
I never wanted it to end
I never wanted it to end

I never wanted it to end
And it never has to end
