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
