Berlin

The cold wind made your cheeks glow Shivering away under your coat Berlin was all covered in snow All I could offer was a hand to hold As we made our way to the memorial You traced your hand along the wall When they put on the video I felt your hand tighten in mine All'd be lost And then at times I'd fall Like the grandfather I lost before I lost Raise the roof and spare the trees And cut you out of my memory Leave my world just black and white Snatch the sun out of the sky For the only colour in my life Is the memory of you and I Oh, for every crime that I commit There's another punishment to fit "I'm sorry" is an endless corridor But behind each every open door All my doubts, my fears my sins I don't know how to begin It's a maze within a maze Without, within My mind, my mind, my labyrinth I can't forget you I try all the time I can't forget you Berlin, with your hand in mine So happy is the blameless vestals love The war forgetting by the world forgot Is it eternal sunshine or endless dark? Or just a branch left hanging by the bark Maybe there are victories and defeats That slip through the cracks of history We're just two little people in the sea But know that it meant everything to me I can't forget you I try all the time I can't forget you Berlin, with your hand in mine The cold wind made your cheeks glow Shivering away under your coat Berlin was all covered in snow All I could offer was a hand to hold As we made our way to the memorial You traced your hand along the wall When they put on the video I felt your hand tighten in mine You are always on my mind I can't forget you I try all the time I can't forget you Berlin, with your hand in mine
