toledo
All through the night you telephoned I saw the light blinking red Beside the cradle But you don't know how far I've gone Now I must live with the lie That I made But if I call, I know I won't have to say it You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it But do people living in Toledo Know that their name hasn't travelled very well? And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? But it's no use saying that I love you And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me For if anyone should look into your eyes It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see You hear her voice - "How could you do that?" You hear her voice - "How could you do that?" So I walked outside in the bright Sunshine and lovers pass by Smiling and joking But they don't know the fool I was Why should they care what was lost What was broken? But if I call, I know I won't have to say it You'll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it But do people living in Toledo Know that their name hasn't travelled very well? And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? But it's no use saying that I love you And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me For if anyone should look into your eyes It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see But do people living in Toledo Know that their name hasn't travelled very well? And does anybody in Ohio Dream of that Spanish citadel? But we still have Florence, Alabama We don't have Paris, and we don't have Rome.
