In Germany Before The War

In Germany before the war

There was a man who owned a store

In nineteen hundred thirty four

In Düsseldorf

And every night at five o nine

He'd cross the park down to the

RhineAnd he'd sit there by the shore

I'm looking at the river, but

I'm thinking of the sea...

I'm thinking of the sea...

I'm looking at the river, but

I'm thinking of the sea...

A little girl has lost her way

With hair of gold and eyes of grey

Reflected in his glasses

As he watches her.

A little girl has lost her way

With hair of gold and eyes of grey...

I'm looking at the river, but

I'm thinking of the sea...

Thinking of the sea...

I'm thinking of the sea...

I'm looking at the river, but

I'm thinking of the sea...

We lie beneath the autumn sky

My little golden girl and

IAnd she lies very still...
