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

S saturday night in toledo, ohio.

Saturday night in toledo, ohio, is like being nowhere at all
All through the day how the hours rush by
You sit in the park and you watch the grass die

Ah, but after the sunset, the dusk and the twilight
When shadows of night start to fall
They roll back the sidewalks precisely at ten
And people who live there are not seen again

Just two lonely truckers from great falls, montana
And a salesman from places unknown – ces unknown
Oh add all together in downtown toledo
To spend their big night all alone

You ask how i know of toledo, ohio
Well i spent a week there one day
They’ve got entertainment to dazzle your eyes
Go visit the bakery and watch the buns rise

Ah, but let’s not forget that the folks of toledo
Unselfishly gave us the scales
No springs, honest weight, that’s the promise they made
So smile and be thankful next time you get weighed

And wive and wet wive
Let this be our motto
Let’s let the sleeping dogs lie – ping dogs lie

And here’s to the dogs of toledo, ohio
Ladies, we bid you goodbye
