My apologies, Sandra, for messing up your count. Thanks for posting the Tony Miles song.
I was very fond of Ross Ryan recordings back in the day. I wonder what happened to him.
POSTCARD FROM BERLIN (Ross Ryan)
July winter night after the parting Drinking until dawn The wine makes you warm But your uniform now seems chilled
I was your lover, your echo and brother But it always seemed strange How you used to change when your dictator’s name Came up in conversation
Refrain And no one wins wars for love or for country And no one applauds lovers who die And though winter thaws and summer replaces The tears on the faces - I still cry La lye la lye
Instrumental break
Refrain
Where are you now, did you finally crawl home After you had lost your fight Perhaps I could write you, but never invite you I’m sorry, but you changed all that
But I’ll drink a toast to the beds and the hotels Ladies and gents we once knew And when I am through, I’ll send to you A postcard and sign it Berlin
