Dreams in German by Toby Martin Lyrics
(incomplete)
I live here
Have done since '33
Just past the KFC
I started out working in the foundry
Making little moneyboxes
By the time that I turned 40
I was so sick of being dirty
My friends said I was crazy
I was afraid that my brain would get lazy
Can't say it was my life's ambition
To sell insurance on commission
My wife died, 1995
Just a year
Had a daughter
Last night I dreamed
That she was still alive
She just left without saying goodbye
I was driving
Looking for a park
When I saw her loading groceries in the car
And our plans
I live here
Have done since '33
Just past the KFC
I started out working in the foundry
Making little moneyboxes
By the time that I turned 40
I was so sick of being dirty
My friends said I was crazy
I was afraid that my brain would get lazy
Can't say it was my life's ambition
To sell insurance on commission
My wife died, 1995
Just a year
Had a daughter
Last night I dreamed
That she was still alive
She just left without saying goodbye
I was driving
Looking for a park
When I saw her loading groceries in the car
And our plans
