German Farmhouse Lyrics - Go-betweens

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 rumor 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
