Well I woke up in the evening
Just to let the day slip by
As the shots rang out
Into the Berlin sky
And I walked down by the water
Where we used to walk together
Found our lock on the bridge there
Where we thought we'd be forever
Slide away from me
Slide away from me
Well I don't talk to the neighbours
'Cos they'll ask why they haven't seen you
And I don't want to hear their cynical views
I don't read the papers
'Cos they'll say I'm lost without you
And I don't want us to be
Yesterday's news
Slide away from me
Slide away from me
Well the city keeps on ticking
And all the lonely heart in Berlin
Get swept along the tide
Just like they're waiting for it turning
And you and I are drifting
Far out from the shore
Miles from where we started
Getting caught up in the storm
Slide away from me
Slide away from me
Slide away from me
Slide away from me
Slide away
Slide away from me
