You call me, you say: Meet me in Verona
Couldn't we handle this on the phone?
You tell me, oh, you can't stand being alone
I don't care, see, I've grown

Oh, there was a time under the Linden trees
I'd wait for you shaking at the knees
Saying: Take me tonight! The time is right!
Oh, the time has flown, don't know where it's gone
Like a fairy tale, crumpled and torn
Oh, somewhere my life has gone with the wind
I can hear you crying in the night
But my heart has turned to stone

You call me, you say: Meet me in Verona
It's too cold. Summer's gone
You tell me, oh, you changed your mind
It's too late, you were blind

Oh, there was a time under the Linden trees
I'd wait for you shaking at the knees
Saying: Take me tonight! The time is right!
Oh, the time has flown, don't know where it's gone
Like a fairy tale, crumpled and torn
Oh, somewhere my life has gone with the wind
I can hear you crying in the night
But my heart has turned to stone

Oh, there was a time under the Linden trees
I'd wait for you shaking at the knees
Saying: Take me tonight! The time is right!
Oh, the time has flown, don't know where it's gone
Like a fairy tale, crumpled and torn
Oh, somewhere my life has gone with the wind
I can hear you crying in the night
But my heart has turned to stone

You call me, you say: Meet me in Verona
