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
