South Of Germany Lyrics - Singles - Paul Kelly And The Messengers

Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music) 

Many lives I could have lived, many trails taken 

It always seems that way at twenty-three 

You walk into a room sometime and then a window opens 

My life changed forever in the south of Germany 

A morning train I had to catch, I just lay there sleeping 

There was nothing in that town to hold me 

By the time the clock had done another day of creeping 

My life had changed forever in the south of Germany 

Oh I'm sorry that today I have to go away 

Seven children I have raised, I love some more than others 

The hardest thing to do is to set them free 

So I learned my lesson hard seven times all over 

My life changed forever in the south of Germany 

I never was the kind of girl for acting sentimental 

I never called our meeting destiny 

I just call it good luck to meet a man so gentle 

My life changed forever in the south of Germany 

Oh I'm so sorry that today I have to go away 

Sometimes when I wake at night I'm dreaming of another 

Then I turn and touch him next to me 

And I know where I belong; still I sometimes wonder 

My life changed forever in the south of Germany 

Oh I'm so sorry that today I have to go away
