berlin in winter

i stared at the berlin wall

a no man's land of faded loyalties

seems funny but it's not at all

and i can't see the eyes of the enemy

the silence was screaming

my world

it started shivering

they said it was the coldest night

in years

oh-oh

and it was berlin in winter

i worked on the berlin wall

forced each day

we built our inheritance

not sure what it all was for

underneath this flag of convenience

my fingers were bleedin'

searchlights dazzling

they said it was the darkest night

in years

oh-oh

and it was berlin in winter

just berlin in winter

like berlin in winter

i danced on the berlin wall

fallen now

we drowned in the melody

there's nobody there to break my fall

i'm puttin' my trust in the arms of humanity

don't burn me

unfurl me

ice me up and fly to reverie

we said it was the coldest night

they said it was the darkest night

they said it was the longest night

in years

oh-oh

and it was berlin in winter

just berlin in winter

like berlin in winter

berlin in winter
