Berlin

We all dream the same dream

Of walking dow

n a city street

That has never felt our footsteps

In its cast

 

Every building, every sign

Every white and yellow line

A stranger

To our past

 

You feel you may have slain the beast

As the clouds mount in the east

Then the rains falls and you’re left

In the mire

 

You lose yourself down an alleyway

Lose the part that used to say

That you were strong enough

 

To make your way through fire

 

You belong to no one now

(Walking in the dark)

You belong to no one

(Walking in the dark)

 

It’s not so bad when you know

In this life’s a room we both go

Ashen walls, a single chair

A door that’s locked because no one’s there

 

We long to see somehow

(Walking in the light)

We long to see

(Walking in the light)

 

You press your face through the wall

To hear the sounds of midnight call

You’re a separate stone

That stays when all the others fall

 

And then think you’re out of sight, but…

 

I see you on the other side

I see you on the other side

I see you on the other side
