Crying 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

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 city burns, 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
