Lyrics Toledo - Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach

Toledo

All through the night you telephoned
I saw the light blinking red beside the cradle
But you dont know how far Ive gone
But if I call, I know I wont have to say it Youll hear my voice, something is bound to betray it But do people living in toledo
Know that their name doesnt travel very well
And does anybody in ohio dream of that spanish citadel
But its no use saying that I love you
And how that girl really didnt mean a thing to me For if anyone should look into your eyes
Its not forgiveness theyre 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 dont know the fool I was
Why should they care what was lost, what was broken
But if I call, I know I wont have to say it Youll hear my voice, something is bound to betray it But do people living in toledo
Know that their name doesnt travel very well
And does anybody in ohio dream of that spanish citadel
But its no use saying that I love you
And how that girl didnt really mean a thing to me For if anyone should look into your eyes
Its not forgiveness theyre gonna see
(repeat and fade)
