Crying In Berlin

This German morning of winter grey and street lights
The mist is warning the day to wait its 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
Oh, she's crying in Berlin

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 disappears 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, Berlin
