Lyrics

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 traveled 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 going to 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 that you're bound to guess it
 You'll hear my voice, and I won't need to confess it
 But do people living in Toledo
 Know that their name hasn't traveled 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 going to see
 But we still have Florence, Alabama
 We don't have Paris, and we don't have Rome
 Or New York or even Amsterdam
 None of those lonely town will be my home
