ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "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
