[Ever since Berlin]



[Ever since Berlin]
I’ve been calling you
Since we shopped in KaDeWe
I’ve been dreaming you
Strolling down Kurfürstendamm
or above a busy autobahn
you and I are there again
inside my mind

[Ever since Berlin]
Life’s been a mystery
I can’t seem to win
hope seems so lost to me
The Checkpoint Charlie blues
make me feel like I might lose
my smiling little muse
in the rain

[Ever since Berlin]
and the Brandenburg Gate
I’ve been mouldering in
a melancholy state
Are we going to the Wall?
Are we heading for a fall?
Are we going to lose it all?
Is that our fate?

[Ever since Berlin]
Ich liebe dich
I’ve been feeling pretty down
and I need a kick
So back there I will go,
sip some Glühwein in the snow
and I’ll dream of what we know
and you’ll be there
