Songtext von In Dieser Stad

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
