Leaving Berlin

Once we were lovers Once we were friends Now we are nothing Excuses and amends The waves are coming to forget us The waves will wash us all away The waves are coming to forget us Will I remember them? One night I dreamt I was an X-men And oh, was I hated from this world to the next And when I woke up I remembered I was confused, I was aghast That I had lost my superpowers The only good thing my dream had Oh, when I look in the mirror At all the strangers that will never come home Oh will I happen to leave Berlin If not in heart, then at least in my soul? The waves are coming to forget us The waves will wash us all away The waves are coming to forget us Oh, but I'll remember them
