Crying in Berlin
This German morning of winter grey and street lights
The mist is warning - the day to wait it's turn
The city stumbles - to find the boots in bedrooms
A new wife wonders - why must he go so soon
She's crying in Berlin -
Love is flying from Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
But she knows her tears - will win
A sip of coffee - he sends a smile to greet her
Just for a second - she forgets what lovers have to learn
An empty window - an empty bed - an empty chair
She curses history - then hides her face behind her hair
And she's crying in Berlin
Her world is flying from Berlin
She's been trying hard to force a smile -
Will war's denial ever end
She's crying in Berlin
Her world is dying in Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
But she knows her tears - will win
She's crying in Berlin
A darkened doorway - an empty street - an empty heart
There is no sure way - to know if they will stay apart
He dissapears then - a waving hand she won't forget
One thing is certain - she will always see his silhouette
When she's crying in Berlin
When she's crying in Berlin
When she's trying hard to fight her fears
She'll fight her tears - and win
She's crying in Berlin
There's no denying - It's a sin - It's a sin
When the cities burn - love waits its turn -
For her and him
Crying in Berlin - crying in Berlin
She's been trying hard to force a smile
Will war's denial - ever end
Crying in Berlin
When the cities burn - love waits its turn - for her and him
Crying in Berlin - Crying in Berlin
