In the streets of this old town
A castle crumbled to the ground
If our love still hangs around
I might not live it down

In fountain mist I cleansed my head
A lonely bell filled the air
If yesterday is truly dead
Why do I even care?

River Neckar, river Rhine
I can't forget those German skies
River Neckar, river Rhine
Let me cross to the other side

In this old town I lost my way
As a foreigner, I kneeled to pray
Saint Jacob pointed toward a door
I've never seen before

When I touched those guarded walls
And tasted bloody war
The rusty sword of old Saint George
Won't slay the dragon anymore

River Neckar, river Rhine
I can't forget those German skies
River Neckar, river Rhine
Let me cross to the other side

River Neckar, river Rhine
I can't forget her sapphire eyes
River Neckar, river Rhine
Don't let my heart run dry

I wanna find the other side
I wanna see those Mannheim skies

River Neckar, river Rhine
I can't forget her sapphire eyes
River Neckar, river Rhine
Don't let my heart run dry
