In Germany Before the War

In Germany before the war
 There was a man who owned a store
 In nineteen hundred thirty-four
 In Düsseldorf
 And every night at fine-o-nine
 He'd cross the park down to the Rhine
 And he'd sit there by the shore
 I'm looking at the river
 But I'm thinking of the sea
 Thinking of the sea
 Thinking of the sea
 I'm looking at the river
 But I'm thinking of the sea
 A little girl has lost her way
 With hair of gold and eyes of gray
 Reflected in his glasses
 As he watches her
 A little girl has lost her way
 With hair of gold and eyes of gray
 I'm looking at the river
 But I'm thinking of the sea
 Thinking of the sea
 Thinking of the sea
 We lie beneath the autumn sky
 My little golden girl and I
 And she lies very still
