• In this Old Town (Englische Version von "In dieser Stadt")

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
