Lyrics
Remembering my Annegret
(Music & Lyrics Peter Kosta)
If I ever had a car
I would go to see you
You would sit in your lonely place
in a bar near the river
And I see you
While you are washing all your fears
and tears away
Away from your soul
I will light the chandelier
below the park
where we used to go
And then again and again
you are going to ask me,
shall we split or shall we do a new start?
A new affair? well,
now it’s too late,
to show you that you understand
you Baby, I do take your hand
And I I ‘m still here
And I will have another beer
And you will play me a song
On a Dobro-Guitar
Far from here, and still so near
Lightening my last cigarette
and drinking my last beer
Remember my Annegret
She used to be my loving maid
Living somewhere in Tennessee
Now she is an old woman
You better say hello to her
And I am a prayer in a Rock’n Roll Band
And I am a priest in a church which no one attends
Because it is maybe too late
Because it seems to be too late
It’s too late for a new love affair
Don’t laugh at me !
while I do care
For you maybe don’t really laugh at me
Maybe one day you will feel the same
Same, For all that could be understood
Because all that have gone to Hollywood.
It’s too late for a love affair
Don’t laugh at me while I do care
Or all of that could be understood
Cause all of them have gone to Hollywood
And I am lightening my last cigarette
And drinking my last beer
Remembering my Annegret
