I stared at the Berlin wall A no man's land of faded loyalties Seems funny but it's not at all And I can't see the eyes of the enemy The silence was screaming My world, it started shivering They said it was the coldest night In years, oh-oh And it was Berlin in winter I worked on the Berlin wall Forced each day, we built our inheritance Not sure what it all was for Underneath this flag of convenience My fingers were bleedin' [?] searchlights dazzling They said it was the darkest night In years, oh-oh And it was Berlin in winter Just Berlin in winter Like Berlin in winter I danced on the Berlin wall Fallen now, we drowned in the melody There's nobody there to break my fall I'm puttin' my trust in the arms of humanity Don't burn me, unfurl me Ice me up and fly to reverie We said it was the coldest night They said it was the darkest night They said it was the longest night In years, oh-oh And it was Berlin in winter Just Berlin in winter Like Berlin in winter Berlin in winter
