Toledo - Lyrics - Painted From Memory

Title: Toledo
Album: Painted From Memory
Artist: Elvis Costello
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach, Declan Macmanus

Lyric:
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 somethin' is bound to betray it

But do people livin' 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 gonna 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, I won?t have to say it
You?ll hear my voice somethin' is bound to betray it

But do people livin' 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 gonna see

But do people livin' in Toledo
Know that their name hasn?t traveled very well?
And does anybody in Ohio
Dream of that Spanish citadel?
But we still have Florence, Alabama
We don't have Paris and we don't have Rome
