[00:10.47]Empty paper bags from bread and butter
[00:15.87]Crumpled cartons void of cigarettes
[00:21.39]Endlessly they drift towards the gutter
[00:26.76]Walking down this road I can't forget
[00:32.40]In the park I used to pick the flowers
[00:37.86]And give mother her birthday bouquet
[00:42.36]In this old town I know my way
[00:47.88]This good old town of childhood days
[00:53.40]Though this old town has seen a change
[00:58.86]In this old town I don't feel strange
[01:07.98]Quite nearby there used to be a lamplight
[01:11.28]By a lover's seat where young girls hoped
[01:18.93]That someday they'd find a shining love-light
[01:24.42]My first love turned out to be a joke
[01:30.03]All at once I felt the urge to wonder
[01:35.46]Came the dawn and I was far from home
[01:39.99]But this old town when I'm alone
[01:45.45]Is still the town that I call home
[01:50.88]Though this old town has seen a change,
[01:56.46]In this old town I don't feel strange
[02:05.52]Standing, waiting in some railway station
[02:11.04]Who said it's a gateway to the world?
[02:16.32]When I reached my latest destination
[02:21.69]Then I knew the whole trip was absurd
[02:27.24]Not until some lonely nights of sorrow
[02:32.58]Did I know that I'd come back to stay
[02:35.70]In this old town I know my way
[02:42.45]This good old town of childhood days
[02:47.94]Though this old town has seen a change
[02:53.52]In this old town I don't feel strange
