After half your life spent in the breadlinesWatching the world turnIn a dress of red polyesterSo many important things to learnLike never to be in a hurryTime is what you make itAnd if you get a chance to travelYou'd be a fool not to take itAnd that's how I met youLike a bird out of her nestFive thousand miles from your homelandThe jewel of BucharestYes, it's such a long way From your father's factoryTo these lonely strip mallsAnd a foreign universityAnd that's how I found youSo far across the seaMaking sense out of the madnessWith your wistful poetryAnd it's such a pleasureTo have your head upon my chestMy sweet Latin lover The jewel of BucharestSongtexteOutside in New HavenThe wind it blows so coldInside the smell of cabbageIs like a story seldom toldFor the comfort of this bedAnd the blanket that you madeNo treasure trove of platinumWould be rich enough to tradeAh, there might be many waysTo have my soul caressed But please grant me one more eveningWith the jewel of Bucharest Aus Songtexte Mania
