ReichtumTV - Autumn In Königsberg (Slow Motion House (Disco)

Autumn In Königsberg (Verse 1) Cobblestones hold the last of summer’s glow Raindrops etch old lines where the castle walls grow Pregel River breathes cool, gold mist on the tide Amber chandeliers in shop windows, where the tourists glide You left your scarf on the bench where we sat Watching seagulls fight for a discarded crumb, fat The clock tower chimes four, it’s already dark The oaks drop their leaves like a broken heart. (Pre-Chorus) Kirchhoff’s bells hum low in the gray The amber rooms locked where the ghosts used to play This city wears fall like a worn-out coat Half forgotten, half still afloat. (Chorus) Oh, autumn in Kaliningrad Leaves stick to the tram tracks, wet and sad Königsberg, the names still cling to the rain A city of ghosts and amber and pain We walk through the square where the market once stood Your hand in my coat, for the autumn wind’s good. (Verse 2) I found an old postcard in a bin near the port It said “Königsberg, 1940” and the ink’s almost torn A girl with a scarf and a coat of wool white Smiles at the camera, unaware of the fight A coffee shop plays a song in a language I don’t know The barista hands me a tea, says “Autumn’s slow” The cats curl up on the windowsills, watching the rain This city’s full of stories that never fade away. (Pre-Chorus) Immanuel’s shade walks the cobblestone path Thinking of truth while the autumn wind laughs The amber light fades behind the clouds All the old names still echo loud (Chorus) Oh, autumn in Kaliningrad Leaves stick to the tram tracks, wet and sad Königsberg, the names still cling to the rain A city of ghosts and amber and pain We walk through the square where the market once stood Your hand in my coat, for the autumn wind’s good. (Bridge) They changed the borders, changed the face of the town But the river still runs where the ships used to drown The castle’s a ruin, but the stones still know All the love, all the loss, all the long ago (Pre-Chorus) Kirchhoff’s bells hum low in the gray The amber rooms locked where the ghosts used to play This city wears fall like a worn-out coat Half forgotten, half still afloat (Chorus) Oh, autumn in Kaliningrad Leaves stick to the tram tracks, wet and sad Königsberg, the names still cling to the rain A city of ghosts and amber and pain We walk through the square where the market once stood Your hand in my coat, for the autumn wind’s good. (Outro) Cobblestones hold the last of summer’s glow Raindrops etch old lines where the castle walls grow Autumn in Kaliningrad, autumn in Königsberg We walk where the past and the present still merge.
