Written in the late 1990s in Constance - in a period of my life when I used to visit Zurich quite often... And the only song with a Z-title so far (good for the Lyrics A-Z list).

 

Tonight there is a concert
where suburbs use to grow
I’ll pick you up at the station
to see the Sheryl Crow

I hope the snow ain’t falling,
the roads seem to be clear
Before the sun is setting
I’ll grasp the steering-wheel

We’ll dance into the summer
we’ll dance out of the spring
till the morning sun is rising
This spirit we’ll breathe in

Symphonies over Zurich
Playing just for us too
But I don’t wanna fall again
in love with you

You can drink a lot if you want
leaving me far behind
The smoke deeply inhaled
your Dunhills tasting fine

I’ll show you a new record
you’ll have to listen well
This old band is my favourite
like you’re my favourite girl

We’ll dance into the summer
we’ll dance out of the spring
till the morning sun is rising
We’ll fly on our wings

Symphonies over Zurich
Playing just for us too
But I don’t wanna fall again
in love with you

You like the close and distant
part-time intimacy
Sometimes I want to change it
then I like the way it is

We’re surely not the worst team
this world has ever seen
This life has not been moulded
to melt a romantic dream

We’ll dance into the summer
we’ll dance out of the spring
till the morning sun is rising
We’ll have another drink

Symphonies over Zurich
Playing just for us too
And I just realize that I fell again
in love with you
