Testo di Köln

Smooth the bricks under her feet The curl of her hair on the curve of her cheek Kneeling, she looks up at me The old, dark cathedral towering over the street All we can smell and all we can see Every cafe on the long, winding street Suddenly all of the children will sing An afternoon song for the sky opening We're all watching Gray part into blue Stained window-glass hues Old becomes new Follow me through The back-alley road Drink the unknown Honey, we're home You and me lost in the heart of Köln We'll attend every ballet I'll take her hand and we'll dance to the train Our rooftop flat overlooking the bay All of our friends on their sailboats will wave We'll close the window as it starts to rain Listen to waterdrops tapping the pane The Sun will set soon and the star-lit champagne Until the morning will keep us awake We're both watching Gray part into blue Stained window-glass hues Old becomes new Follow me through The back-alley road Drink the unknown Honey, we're home You and me lost in the heart of Köln
