Köln

Smooth the bricks under her feet
The curl of her hair on the curve of her cheek
Kneeling, she looks up at me
The old, dark cathedral towering over the street

All we can smell and all we can see
Every cafe on the long, winding street
Suddenly all of the children will sing
An afternoon song for the sky opening

We're all watching

Gray part into blue
Stained window-glass hues
Old becomes new
Follow me through
The back-alley road
Drink the unknown
Honey, we're home
You and me lost in the heart of Köln

We'll attend every ballet
I'll take her hand and we'll dance to the train
Our rooftop flat overlooking the bay
All of our friends on their sailboats will wave

We'll close the window as it starts to rain
Listen to waterdrops tapping the pane
The Sun will set soon and the star-lit champagne
Until the morning will keep us awake

We're both watching

Gray part into blue
Stained window-glass hues
Old becomes new
Follow me through
The back-alley road
Drink the unknown
Honey, we're home
You and me lost in the heart of Köln
