Will-o-the-wisp
Lyrics
I see you after many years
On an airplane or train
Wrangling a path, the streets of a city
Where men don't wait in vain
I think my, you may have changed
But you're such a handsome thing
Do you still hang around that old arcade
To see what luck will bring
Will-o'-the-wisp
What you want is such a party train
Will-o'-the-wisp
From Ulan to Wachau Strassa
Will-o'-the-wisp
Allergic trunk below past knowledge or plans
Will-o'-the-wisp
In search of love and laughter
Will-o'-the-wisp (oh)
Will-o'-the-wisp (oh)
Will-o'-the-wisp (oh)
Will-o'-the-wisp (oh)
You were always such a free spirit
A bright eyed, eager chap
A will-o'-the-wisp
And charming with it
In your battered leather cap
Will-o'-the-wisp
But maybe you've gone respectable
With a wife and job and all that
Working for the local government
And living in a rented flat
Will-o'-the-wisp
What you want is such a party train
Will-o'-the-wisp
From Ulan to Wachau Strassa
Will-o'-the-wisp
Allergic trunk below past knowledge or plans
Will-o'-the-wisp
In search of love and laughter
Will-o'-the-wisp
And you my former Will-o'-the-wisp
Will you recognize me today
Give me a smile for old times sake
Before you run away
Will-o'-the-wisp
You were always such a free spirit
Will-o'-the-wisp
Aren't you getting bored
Will-o'-the-wisp
A will-o'-the-wisp
And charming with it
Will-o'-the-wisp
Love to be adored
Will-o'-the-wisp
What you want is such a party train
Will-o'-the-wisp
From Ulan to Wachau Strassa
Will-o'-the-wisp
Allergic trunk below past knowledge or plans
Will-o'-the-wisp
In search of love and laughter
Will-o'-the-wisp
You were always such a free spirit
Will-o'-the-wisp
Who came and went so much
Will-o'-the-wisp
A will-o'-the-wisp
And charming with it
I'm still longing for your touch
Will-o'-the-wisp
