Time travels to learn
your secret life
in your mausoleum
And Berlin
is so ugly in the morning light
but with them
I could never feel so right

Good Bye Berlin

Where It All Starts
Bright as the stars,
Rise and fall
Do you ever wonder
Where it all starts?
Believe it;
Wear the cloak.
Swimming above,
Watching the flood
Bright as the stars
Rise and fall
Do you ever wonder
Where do we start?
Believe it;
The rain will come
Another night,
Another day.
Everywhere we look
Lights are moving faster,
And then,
You see it there,
Slowly holding on,
Colours fill your mind,
And voices,
Singing our song,
And voices,
Singing along
Here we are,
Standing tall,
Waiting and hoping.
See the lights shut
Over me,
Over the water.
Another day goes by,
Love in your eyes
Stare patiently
To see the sky.
Then what?

Who
Who be my valentine
Who lift this heavy load
Who share this taxicab
Who wants to climb aboard
Who is an honest man?
Who held a dying soldier?
Far from his own hometown
Carry these men and women
Who get lost when the Sun goes down
Who is an honest man?
Who walks this dusty road
Who always proves her way
Who’s this?! Inside of me
Who made a big mistake
Who sees these constellations
Seen in those spinning round
Counting these men and women
Who get lost when the Sun goes down
Who is an honest man?
With a graceful motion she sat down slowly
Drank a cup of coffee and she fold her laundry
She begins to tell us all her life story
All around the table, everybody’s staring
Who shouts out hallelujah
Who’s gonna sing out loud
Carry these men and women
Who get lost when the Sun goes down
Who’s getting out of here
Who thinks they’re hungry
Who’s gonna be my friend
All around the table, everybody’s staring
