Grey Berlin

They tell me that's where the light gets in
Comes in through the cracks
Baby where you going?
Baby where you been?
I thought that you were coming back

You don't wanna know the things I've seen
I've been out of the blue and into the black
Baby where you going?
Baby where you been?
I thought that you were coming back

All the way through grey Berlin
Your beautiful sad brown eyes were the soundtrack
Baby where you going?
Baby where you been?
I thought that you were coming back

The rain fell down like asbestos dust
The day I sold the Nissan Hatchback
baby where you going? baby where you been?
I thought that you were coming back

I ran underneath the railway bridge
I was jumping so you'd see me nearly gave me a heart attack
Baby where you going?
Baby where you been?

I thought that you were coming back
I thought that you were coming back
I thought that you were coming back

I wrote down every tear you cried
I put the date beside like I was keeping an almanac
Baby where you going?
Baby where you been?
I thought that you were coming back

And maybe my love for you
Was nothing but the pages from a cheap paperback
Baby where you going?
Baby where you been?
I thought that you were coming back

If I could write it all down
I'd write it in the deepest darkest carbon black

Through it all
I loved you blind
You were always on my mind

Now I walk the grey streets and the cobblestones
Up past the yard and the smokestack

Baby where you going?
Baby where you been?
I thought that you were coming back

I thought that you were coming back
