In Dieser Stad
Hildegard Knef
Empty paper bags from bread and butter
Crumpled cartons void of cigarettes
Endlessly they drift towards the gutter
Walking down this road i can't forget
In the park i used to pick the flowers
And give mother her birthday bouquet
In this old town i know my way
This good old town of childhood days
Though this old town has seen a change
In this old town i don't feel strange
Quite nearby there used to be a lamplight
By a lover's seat where young girls hoped
That someday they'd find a shining love-light
My first love turned out to be a joke
All at once i felt the urge to wonder
Came the dawn and i was far from home
But this old town when i'm alone
Is still the town that i call home
Though this old town has seen a change,
In this old town i don't feel strange
Standing, waiting in some railway station
Who said it's a gateway to the world?
When i reached my latest destination
Then i knew the whole trip was absurd
Not until some lonely nights of sorrow
Did i know that i'd come back to stay
In this old town i know my way
This good old town of childhood days
Though this old town has seen a change
In this old town i don't feel strange
