In Germany Before the War Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In Germany before the war
There was a man who owned a store
In 1934
In Düsseldorf
And every night at 5:09
He'd cross the park down to the Rhine
And he'd sit there by the shore
[Chorus]
I'm looking at the river
But I'm thinking of the sea
I'm thinking of the sea
I'm looking at the river
But I'm thinking of the sea
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I'm looking at the river
But I'm thinking of the sea
Thinking of the sea
Thinking of the sea
In Germany before the war
There was a man who owned a store
In 1934
In Düsseldorf
And every night at 5:09
He'd cross the park down to the Rhine
And he'd sit there by the shore
[Chorus]
I'm looking at the river
But I'm thinking of the sea
I'm thinking of the sea
I'm looking at the river
But I'm thinking of the sea
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I'm looking at the river
But I'm thinking of the sea
Thinking of the sea
Thinking of the sea
[Verse 3]
We lie beneath the autumn sky
My little golden girl and I
And she lies very still
We lie beneath the autumn sky
My little golden girl and I
And she lies very still
