Songtext von The Rhine

Somewhere over the Rhine I saw her passing the time Picking blackberries on the vine And from the top of that hill I could see the city lights standing still Where all her blackberry blood was spilled Into the river, out to the sea Her heart delivered the poison to me Hours pass by the chime Cathedrals keep us in line For the altar where her blood runs red wine Jesus was getting his fill at the party Girls and God's will Throwing all of Simon's dollar bills Into the river, up on the cross Take from the giver, count it all loss My brother having a beer And driving the car just like everyone feared When the tire hit the curb and in the rearview the guard-rail disappeared Into the river, deep in the Rhine Oh, how he shivered the day that he died
