Toledo — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

All through the night you telephoned

I saw the light blinking red

Beside the cradle

But you dont know how far Ive gone

Now I must live with the lie

That I made

But if I call, I know I wont have to say it

Youll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it



But do people living in toledo

Know that their name hasnt travelled very well?

And does anybody in ohio

Dream of that spanish citadel?

But its no use saying that I love you

And how that girl really didnt mean a thing to me

For if anyone should look into your eyes

Its not forgiveness that theyre 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 dont know the fool I was

Why should they care what was lost

What was broken?



But if I call, I know I wont have to say it

Youll hear my voice - something is bound to betray it



But do people living in toledo

Know that their name hasnt travelled very well?

And does anybody in ohio

Dream of that spanish citadel?

But its no use saying that I love you

And how that girl really didnt mean a thing to me

For if anyone should look into your eyes

Its not forgiveness that theyre gonna see



But do people living in toledo

Know that their name hasnt travelled very well?

And does anybody in ohio

Dream of that spanish citadel?

But we still have florence, alabama

We dont have paris, and we dont have rome
