City Of Night (berlin) Lyrics - Singles - Peter Schilling

Listen... can't you hear your crying heart? 

My friend, oh I can see you're torn apart 

I look to you, thinking of you tonight 

Old ghosts haunt you and they won't let go 

They know a city can take time to grow 

What's done is done, but you are still young, Berlin 

Tell me, what will be your final role? 

It seems either side would sell your soul 

It's such a high cost when dreams get lost in 

Berlin, city of night 

You sleep between the East and West, along the left and right 

Broken, kept from the light 

You close your eyes and everything remains in black and white 

Berlin, when will you fight 

The mind that draws the border no one crosses in the city of night 

Strange times when two halves don't make a whole 

You'll find some old wounds cannot be closed 

But I look to you, thinking of you 

Oh, Berlin, city of night 

You sleep between the East and West, along the left and right 

Broken, kept from the light 

You close your eyes and everything remains in black and white 

Berlin, when will you fight 

The mind that draws the border no one crosses in the city of night 

"Today... in the world of freedom... the proudest boast is... ich bin ein Berliner." 

Berlin, city of night 

You sleep between the East and West, along the left and right 

Broken, kept from the light 

You close your eyes and everything remains in black and white 

Berlin, when will you fight 

The mind that draws the border no one crosses in the city of 

Berlin, city of night 

You sleep between the East and West, along the left and right 

Broken, kept from the light 

You close your eyes and everything remains in black and white 

Berlin, when will you fight 

The mind that draws the border no one crosses in the city of night
