In Germany Before The War Tab

by Randy Newman


In Germany Before The War  

   
In Germany before the war
       
There was a man who owned a store
                                   
In nineteen hundred thirty-four in Dusseldorf

    
And every night at five-o-nine
     
He'd cross the park down to the rhine
                              
And he'd sit there by the shore

Chorus:
                                  
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

Chorus

We lie beneath the autumn sky
My little golden girl and I
And she lies very still
