In This Old Town Songtext

Englische Version von "In dieser Stadt" 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
