Let me tell you what I saw today
I saw the streets in Berlin the stone the rain and the wind
I saw it all
Let me tell you what I saw today
I saw her nod to say yes up there where she'd never guess
I saw it all
I really thought that you'd believe me
I really thought you'd understand
I dreamed of days when you'd be pleased to see me
Without a leg on which to stand
Despite the means and luck around me
I've always had some wrench in plans
So far so good I see my life before me
No longer through my shaking hands
Let me tell you what I saw today
I saw the sea down below my arms are crossed here we go
I saw it all
Let me tell you what I saw today
I saw my friend in the hall the cue the cheap alcohol
I saw it all
Day dreams on stage they're all consuming
I've got much more to leave behind
I thought by now perhaps that you could tell me
You'd settle on it or you changed your mind
I tell you what I've got this feeling
I feel this aching in my bones
There's not much time before I know I'm leaving
Before I make my way back home
