Toledo Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Toledo Lyrics

    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
    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
