This German morning of winter grey and street lights The mist is warning – the day to wait it’s turn The city stumbles – to find the boots in bedrooms A 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 bed – an empty chair She curses history – then hides her face behind her hair
And she’s crying in Berlin Her world is flying from Berlin She’s been trying hard to force a smile – Will war’s denial ever end She’s crying in Berlin Her world is dying in Berlin She’s been trying hard to fight her fears But she knows her tears – will win
SHE’S CRYING IN BERLIN
[Instrumental Break]
A darkened doorway – an empty street – an empty heart There is no sure way – to know if they will stay apart He dissapears then – a waving hand she won’t forget One thing is certain – she will always see his silhouette WHEN SHE’S CRYING IN BERLIN WHEN SHE’S CRYING IN BERLIN When she’s trying hard to fight her fears She’ll fight her tears – and win
SHE’S CRYING IN BERLIN THERE’S NO DENYING – IT’S A SIN – IT’S A SIN
When the cities burn – love waits its turn – For her and him
CRYING IN BERLIN – CRYING IN BERLIN
She’s been trying hard to force a smile Will war’s denial – ever end
CRYING IN BERLIN
When the cities burn – love waits its turn – for her and him
