The City Sleeps

Baby, have you seen those leaves on the ground At first they shone from the pavement in gold red and brown Now they've been trampled on and ridden over And they're just sludge lying around And I think it's time to leave this town The trees whisper secrets of summer's love affairs Of the carelessness tomfoolery that happened everywhere But as the doors close The wind blows The city sleeps And the sky weeps And I know, I know I know it's time to leave this town Oh no, you won't see me hanging around But babe, I'll be back When sun starts to seep through the leaves When I can sing you a song As you sing along On these magic Berlin streets With our night riding Midnight gliding Morning dancing Pavement prancing You know, oh you know You know I'll be back to live this town Oh, you know I'll be back to love this town
