Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music)  Many lives I could have lived, many trails taken  It always seems that way at twenty-three  You walk into a room sometime and then a window opens  My life changed forever in the south of Germany  A morning train I had to catch, I just lay there sleeping  There was nothing in that town to hold me  By the time the clock had done another day of creeping  My life had changed forever in the south of Germany  Oh I'm sorry that today I have to go away  Seven children I have raised, I love some more than others  The hardest thing to do is to set them free  So I learned my lesson hard seven times all over  My life changed forever in the south of Germany  I never was the kind of girl for acting sentimental  I never called our meeting destiny  I just call it good luck to meet a man so gentle  My life changed forever in the south of Germany  Oh I'm so sorry that today I have to go away  Sometimes when I wake at night I'm dreaming of another  Then I turn and touch him next to me  And I know where I belong; still I sometimes wonder  My life changed forever in the south of Germany  Oh I'm so sorry that today I have to go away
