Elvis Costello with Burt Bacharach 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
