ReichtumTV - Autumn On The Pregel Banks (Nu Disco)

Autumn On The Pregel Banks (Verse 1) The amber leaves stick to the tram tracks Pregel’s grey glass holds the sunset back Riga’s station clock ticks slow Rain smells like old concrete and smoked. You handed me a chestnut, smooth and warm Beneath the Königsberg Cathedral’s dark form Stained glass leaks gold through autumn haze We chased the seagulls past the ancient quays. (Chorus) Autumn on the Pregel, wind through gateways Friedland gate sings old, half-remembered lays Coat hung with mist, coffee steam curls thin This is the autumn where we began again Autumn in Kaliningrad, stone and sea Every leaf’s a story, waiting to be free. (Verse 2) The old town’s cafés glow with amber light We split a pretzel, salt and dark chocolate bite The Immanuel Kant memorial’s wrapped in fog I traced your name in frost on the railway log. Museum’s steps creak under our boots You said the rain here tastes like foreign roots The amber streetlights blur into the dark As we walk home, side by side, side by side. (Chorus) Autumn on the Pregel, wind through gateways Friedland gate sings old, half-remembered lays Coat hung with mist, coffee steam curls thin This is the autumn where we began again Autumn in Kaliningrad, stone and sea Every leaf’s a story, waiting to be free. (Bridge) Some ghosts walk these streets at dusk Old Königsberg, old rust, old trust But we don’t mind the mist or the rain As long as we’re here, out of the cold again. The chestnut in my pocket’s turning brown Another autumn’s come, another’s going down But I’ll keep this moment, soft and still On these Pregel banks, where our hearts learned to feel. (Chorus) Autumn on the Pregel, wind through gateways Friedland gate sings old, half-remembered lays Coat hung with mist, coffee steam curls thin This is the autumn where we began again Autumn in Kaliningrad, stone and sea Every leaf’s a story, waiting to be free. (Outro) Tram’s bell rings out on the grey sea breeze Autumn lingers, soft as you please On the Pregel banks, Kaliningrad’s autumn...
