Once I had a lover in Berlin |
| [00:36.48] |
Said a frail old woman at a table next to mine |
| [00:43.96] |
His voice was like an ancient violin |
| [00:50.94] |
And he spoke to me that voice, that voice |
| [00:57.95] |
I believe they call it falling for a man |
| [01:05.40] |
But this falling made me fly, left me soaring over the sky |
| [01:10.88] |
。 |
| [01:13.37] |
There wasn't any sense, there was no plan |
| [01:19.73] |
But who would trade this passion for the safety of dry land? |
| [01:27.39] |
Not I |
| [01:34.09] |
Not he. |
| [01:41.62] |
And we knew we had to travel far away |
| [01:48.98] |
We knew we had to disappear, where no one else could find us |
| [01:56.12] |
A sailing ship would take us from the bay |
| [02:03.07] |
Its sails would fill with an offshore wind to blind us |
| [02:10.68] |
We gambled our security the future for the now |
| [02:17.74] |
Sailed off towards the storm, safety cast aside |
| [02:24.80] |
We'd gone beyond what reason would allow |
| [02:32.14] |
But who could tame the tide away and tell it where to go? |
| [02:39.32] |
Not I. |
| [02:46.32] |
Not You. |
| [02:55.90] |
|
| [03:51.28] |
Reality then brought it to an end |
| [03:58.82] |
Said the frail old women, shaking underneath her hat |
| [04:05.91] |
A decent set of values is no friend |
| [04:13.31] |
It's reason now that blinds us, please believe |
| [04:20.12] |
And passion is not willing to be steered |
| [04:27.52] |
Purity alone won't fill a ship's wide sails |
| [04:34.92] |
Life will sometimes bring what we most feared |
| [04:42.07] |
And who could ever say when to go or when to stay? |
| [04:49.12] |
Not you. |
| [04:53.27] |
Not we |
| [05:00.50] |
Not I |
| [05:04.14] |
|
