„Those Were The Days“ was part of my live soundtrack for the theatre production of „Paris, Texas“, directed by Sebastian Hartmann, starring Rosalind Baffoe, Maximilian Brauer, Yusuf El Baz, Manuel Harder, Heike Makatsch, Hagen Oechel, Peter René Lüdicke and Birgit Unterweger.
„Paris, Texas“ was a production based on the Wim Wenders Film with the same title and was performed in the Central-Theater Leipzig, Germany.
lyrics
those were the days of bliss
and I fed you with kisses
no one knows how I miss this
feeding you with love and bliss
and you want me to pay
more than I can pay for
and I ain't gonna stay here
this here is the bell and chain
I want you to wear
you must never miss to wear
this bell and chain of my love
love love
and here is your crown
sitting on the globe the phoenix
melting the dust the teardrops
those were the days
the days the days the days
those were the days
the days the days the days
of this here bliss
