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
