Elvis Costello – Toledo Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: Painted From Memory

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 - something is bound to betray it

But do people living in Toledo
Know that their name hasn^,t travelled 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
[ Toledo lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/e/elvis-costello/toledo/ ]
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 - something is bound to betray it

But do people living in Toledo
Know that their name hasn^,t travelled 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 living in Toledo
Know that their name hasn^,t travelled 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
