Paroles de Fraulein

One night I saw all this The ship that drifted in And from that afternoon you changed Some fallen leaves were in the drive A stranger's voice above the wind The difference was the color of Lorraine She said that mourning almost tasted blue Oh Fraulein, that was you Your phone would ring and ring and ring The shadows on the beat The car abandoned long before, when I was free A message crumpled said something Yet the language was unknown Are old mistakes forgotten just like me She said she's leaving with the crowds She wants to throw this all away She said I'm thinking this out loud That's what I thought you'd say One night I saw all this The man who paid the bill A glance along the noise Hey baby that's our song The seagulls all flew away And when I turned to ask you where And when I turned to ask you why You've gone
