How can I, that girl standing there,

G A D

My attention fix

On Roman or on Russian

Bm F#

Or on Spanish politics?

Yet here's a travelled man who (that) knows

G A D

What he talks about,

And there's a politician

That has read and thought,

Bm G

And maybe what they say is true

Of war and war's alarms,

Bm G

But O that I were young again

And held her in my arms!
