An Affair in Montenotte

By Nilora

It was a beautiful night I had a wonderful sight I was watching football But I never imagined to be kicked like a ball It was a night in Springtime We were together in good time It was a night Manchester United lost and Real Madrid won It was a night I lost and they won But I never imagined to be judged as a guilty person It was a day in Springtime We were together at coffee time It was a day I realised Football was a source of scandal I never imagined to be forced into somebody's sandal In Montenotte's hill, Somebody said I have an affair with football I said it is not fair at all Somebody said one feels good because the reality is right I said the reality is right because I feel good Today in Ireland, It is raining in summer days Somebody feels sad in these days because the reality isn't right It is cold in summer days I feel calm in these days because I feel good.
