Lyrics for German Farmhouse

I lived in seclusion for a couple of years In a german farmhouse just drinking beer And every morning I'd wake up with a smile from ear to ear I had one contact to the outside world A phone in London and a seasick girl. I knew what was happening but only in my part of the world I knew what was happening I knew that this was my world I knew what was happening in my part of the world There was an abandoned castle with empty chairs There was a rumour Pavarotti would sing there To raise funds for a music school but then the whole thing vanished into thin air It was a crazy idea And it vanished into the air It was a falling down castle with falling down stairs I could walk the streets unrecognized Nobody stopped me I was never surprised By anybody's actions or by an ex-lover's eyes And this felt good And this felt so right To be unloaded as I walked through the night This felt good This felt so right To be unloaded as I walked through the night, this felt right
