This German morning in winter grey and street lights
The mist is warning the day to wait its turn
The city stumbles to find the boots in bedrooms
The 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 chair, an empty bed
She curses history then hides her face behind her hair
And she's crying in Berlin
And she's crying in Berlin
She's been trying hard to force a smile
Will war's denial ever end?
She's crying in Berlin
She's crying in Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
But she knows her tears will win
Yeah, uu
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
Crying in Berlin
She's been trying hard to fight her fears
She know her tears will win
She's crying in Berlin
Crying in Berlin, Berlin
When the cities burn, love waits its turn
For her and him
Crying in Berlin
