Berlin

Intro: (x2) verse 1 The cold wind made your cheeks glow Shivering away under your coat Berlin was all covered in snow All I could offer was a hand to hold So we made our way to the memorial You traced your hand along the wall When they put on the video I felt your hand tighten in mine verse 2 Oh to be lost in an Alzheimer's fog Like the grandfather I lost before I lost Raise the root but spare the tree And cut you out of my memory Leave my world just black and white Snatch the sun out of the sky For the only colour in my life Is the memory of you and I verse 3 Oh for every crime that I commit Is there not a punishment to fit I'm sorry is an endless corridor Where behind each every open door All my doubts my fear my sin I don't know how to begin It's a maze within a maze without within My mind my mind my labyrinth I can't forget you I try all the time I can't forget you Berlin with your hand in mine verse 4 So happy is the blameless vestal's love The world forgetting by the world forgot Is it eternal sunshine or endless dark Or just a branch left hanging by the bark Maybe there are victories and defeats That slip through the cracks of history We're just two little people in a sea But know that it meant everything to me I can't forget you I try all the time I can't forget you Berlin with your hand in mine Verse 5 The cold wind made your cheeks glow Shivering away under your coat Berlin was all covered in snow All I could offer was a hand to hold So we made our way to the memorial You traced your hand along the wall When they put on the video I felt your hand tighten in mine You were always on my mind I can't forget you I try all the time I can't forget you Berlin with your hand in mine
