Oh Berlin, your heart has been Drawn and quartered again Oh the East and the West were divided By a wall that staunched their freedom
Well, the wall came down in 1989 But its ghost still refuses to leave These hauntings are so reputative There's a bit of you in me Let's go
Oh Berlin, your life's on fire Burns deep within this heart of mine You got astronomical, economical, suffering for a century And when the ocean swells that day I'll get on my ship and I'll sail away
On this ship, on this ship On this ship, on this ship
And when you're all alone, don't forget me And when I'm all alone, I won't forget you And when you're all alone, don't forget me 'Cause I'm on the wrong side of the tracks
But I did not know until you turned your back I'm livin' the blackest years of my life But I did not know until you said goodbye Goodbye
Oh Berlin your witness stands here On this city-shamed kinda day
And when you're all alone, don't forget me And when I'm all alone, I won't forget you And when you're all alone, don't forget me 'Cause I'm on the wrong side of the tracks
But I did not know until you turned your back I'm livin' the blackest years of my life But I did not know until you said goodbye Goodbye
We were young girls in a small world I'm on your doorstep man Ringin' your bell again, I'm ringin' your bell again I'm sorry Gerite Rouge
