Berlin

Do you miss the sea?

Though you've never been there

I imagine you would

You never went anywhere

Still everyone came to you

If you could meet the sea, would you like to, would you like to?

Do you miss the sea?

Though you've never been there

I imagine you would

You never went anywhere

Still everyone came to you

If you could meet the sea, would you like to, would you like to?

Berlin, do you remember when my lover and I

We walked along your river on a cold summer's night

As the sun laid to rest, the drunks came rolling in

And I heard laughter from across the street

And laughter from within

My heart jumped every step we took

My lover wore all white

Berlin, you wore your greenest dress

And we stayed up all night

I whispered to my lover then:

"Oh, how blessed we are to walk here"

And I forgot all sorrows

And he forgot to talk

Oh no, I was never there

Oh no, I was never there

Oh no, I was never there

Oh no, I was never, never, never

But that was many years ago

Berlin, I went too far

I hear you're growing colder

Well, many of us are

Some of us bury our roots deep

We like our seasons to be four

We don't do well with carefree sunshine

And we are not young anymore

Do you recall the greatest lie you told

You made me feel like I could be

Just anything, just everything

Like you could see things hidden in me

Oh no, I was never there

Oh no, I was never there

Oh no, I was never there

Oh no, I was never, never, never

They say that rain is coming in again

I got us tickets to an early flight

I'll show you how to swim
