Cologne 1977 (From the Album Monkey Business)

歌詞

Cologne Charlie steps down from the train And wanders by the Dom Raindrops falling in a foreign town Wish that sun was beating down To warm the ground Just like it does at home Cologne Charlie checks her book again And fumbles with the phone If there's a lover on her mind It only proves that love is blind And too unkind To leave her gilded throne Oh, don't you tell no lies About the things you said When you left home A visit to your daddy's land Two hundred dollars in your hand And here you are confronted with Cologne Somewhere in this town they lived Before the war A quiet street with chestnut trees That Charlie never saw Central European Time It's ten o'clock here on the Rhine We're feeling fine Just waiting for the tone Cologne Charlie comes 'most every year And how the feeling's grown Soldier boys come home one day And how they need the will to stay And find a way Out of the fray alone Oh, don't you tell no lies About the things you said When you left home A visit to your daddy's land Two hundred dollars in your hand And here you are confronted with Cologne.
