In Germany before the war
In Germany before the war; There was a man who owned a store; In nineteen hundred thirty four; In Dusseldorf.; And every day at five o nine; He'd cross the park down to the Rhine,; He'd sit there by the shore.; I'm looking at the river; But 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 gray; Reflected in his glasses; As he watches her.; A little girl has lost her way; With hair of gold and eyes of gray.; I'm looking at the river; But I'm thinking of the sea; Thinking of the sea; Thinking of the sea; We lie beneath the autumn sky; My little golden hair and I; And she lies very still;
