Lyrics

0:11All through the night you telephoned
0:15I saw the light blinking red beside the cradle
0:25But you don't know how far i've gone
0:29Now i must live with the lie (life) that i made
0:38But if i call i know i won't have to say it
0:47You'll hear my voice something is bound to betray it
0:59But do people living in toledo
1:03Know that their name doesn't travel very well
1:10And does anybody in ohio dream of that spanish citadel
1:24But it's no use saying that i love you
1:28And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me
1:35For if anyone should look into your eyes
1:42It's not forgiveness they're gonna see
1:49You hear her voice how could you do that
1:58You hear her voice how could you do that
2:18So i walked outside in the bright sunshine
2:24And lovers pass by smiling and joking
2:32But they don't know the fool i was
2:36Why should they care what was lost what was broken
2:45But if i call i know i won't have to say it
2:54You'll hear my voice something is bound to betray it
3:06But do people living in toledo
3:10Know that their name doesn't travel very well
3:17And does anybody in ohio dream of that spanish citadel
3:31But it's no use saying that i love you
3:35And how that girl really didn't mean a thing to me
3:42For if anyone should look into your eyes
3:49It's not forgiveness that they're gonna see
3:56But do people living in Toledo
4:01Know that their name hasn't travelled very well
4:08And does anybody in Ohio
4:15Dream of that Spanish citadel
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 (life) 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 doesn't travel 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 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 doesn't travel 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
