about

4.Sunday morning Andreas goes to pay his debt to St Thérese. Waiting for the mass to finish he gets slowly drunk in a bistro across the street. When mass has finished he heads for the church but hears a woman calling his name. He recognises her as Caroline, a former lover. They spend the day together.First at a fancy restaurant where Andreas ends up footing the expensive bill, then the cinema and a dance hall before going back to her place. It felt 'just like the old times again'. In the light of morning he sees her grown older, and realises that time has changed many things, not least in his heart. He leaves without waking her, angry that he has spent money so recklessly on a phantom.

lyrics

I heard a voice that came calling from from another age
She was calling out my name and nothing's changed
I recognised her face-the source of my disgrace
She was clad in fine array, I did two years for her sake
Are these ghosts haunting me in the Sunday morning streets
It's her voice convincing me, and it's her arms embracing me

And we shared this holy day,and all the years fell away
But all the anguish remained inside me
From a fancy dining car to the dance halls of Montmartre
We were shining like the stars, I was lost in her arms
Come the dawn I see her anew
This fille-de-joie gone to seed much too soon
She is aged and pale as the moon
Broke again I creep out of the room
