In This Old Town (In dieser Stadt)

歌詞

Empty paper bags from bread and butter Crumpled cartons void of cigarettes Endlessly they drift towards the gutter Walking down this road I can't forget In the park I used to pick the flowers And give mother her birthday bouquet In this old town I know my way This good old town of childhood days Though this old town has seen a change In this old town I don't feel strange Quite nearby there used to be a lamplight By a lover's seat where young girls hoped That someday they'd find a shining love-light My first love turned out to be a joke All at once I felt the urge to wonder Came the dawn and I was far from home But this old town when I'm alone Is still the town that I call home Though this old town has seen a change, In this old town I don't feel strange Standing, waiting in some railway station Who said it's a gateway to the world? When I reached my latest destination Then I knew the whole trip was absurd Not until some lonely nights of sorrow Did I know that I'd come back to stay In this old town I know my way This good old town of childhood days Though this old town has seen a change In this old town I don't feel strange
