	Story Behind the Song Here's a clue: Roma is not a girl. . . Lyrics Roma by Josh Arthur You’re lookin’ for someone You’ve heard of her fame on the fantasy screen You’re lookin’ for someone You just know her name, but she’s all that you need The pictures fly by you They tell you she’s near that she’s within your reach You grasp for the image You fall down again on these barren streets So don’t give up searching through the night ‘Cause Roma’s there waiting for you, laughing in the light You’ve struggled so long and so far for her Each Friday night wasted Lost in the crowd, but your loneliness aches A portrait, a painting, a counterfeit sketch Will be all that it takes You’ve know for some time now, Our nature is torn and our world is diseased Believe that she’ll save you Believe that she’s true and she’s just what you need So don’t give up searching through the night ‘Cause Roma’s there waiting for you, laughing in the light You’ve struggled so long and so far for her She’s worth every step that you will take She’ll help you forget the siren world that you’ll forsake Roma, you know that she’ll die for you We’ve fallen so far Our eyes are unclear Slaves to our wills Wounded by fear To settle for less To not be alone You’ll turn away From Roma and home Why’s it so hard To wait for so long You’re feeling so weak How can you be strong I know that in time He’ll give you her hand Roma, your dream A gift of the Lamb So don’t give up searching through the night ‘Cause Roma’s there waiting for you, laughing in the light You’ve struggled so long and so far for her She’s worth every step that you will take She’ll help you forget the siren world that you’ll forsake Roma, you know that she’ll die for you Roma, you know that she’ll die for you wow, that's a lot of words!
