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 awayI need a break and I need one clean
Things are never what they seem
What seems close is so far away
You keep runnin' out of words to say, but I keep on singing anyway
'Cause I'm never goin' back there
No I'm never goin' back there
Folks don't really talk much about it anymore
'Cause it's a place with no way in it
It's a road to no way out
I'm asleep when I'm awake
Can't get a break
And I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Yes I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
'Cause it's a place with no way in it
It's a road to no way out
Everything ends in a heart ache
Can't get a break
And I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Yes I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
No one calls much anymore
That's OK 'cause I don't use the phone
It feels better on your own
But don't get waisted every day alone
And I'm never goin' back there
I don't care
I don't want to talk much anymore
'Cause it's a place with no way in it
It's a road to no way out
Everything ends in a heart ache
Can't get a break
And I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
Yes I'm falling out
I'm falling down again
And I'm calling out
I'm calling out to you
