It comes and goes An echo of a fairytale It ebbs and grows And fades away without fail And I reach out And try and try to keep it in Good–bye, Berlin
It doesn’t show The glow of the frozen tears It speeds and slows And sails away across the years And it returns With emptiness that haunts within Good–bye, Berlin
Chorus: Silver skies and bullet shattered pavements Silver eyes – a river cried in payment Where were you? Why did you live those years in sin? Good–bye, Berlin
I toss and turn Your whisper sets aflame my fears Your memories burn A million shadows disappear And I reach out But still don’t know where to begin Good–bye, Berlin
A cold street A prayer written on the wall A place to meet Where angels come to take their fall I will return And take your courage for a spin Good–bye, Berlin
