WHEN I LEAVE BERLIN

Original Wizz Jones version

When morning comes and I leave Berlin
My mind is turning, my heart is yearning for you and Berlin
In Amsterdam I'll see my lady,
I hope she'll love me
'Cause I'm gonna need her when I leave Berlin

Here today, but the wall is open, there are flowers alongside the Dunes
Here today, but the gates are open, mothers are weeping with their sons

When morning comes and I leave Berlin
I know for certain that I'm a free man when I leave Berlin

Here today, but the wall is open, there are flowers alongside the Dunes
Here today, but the gates are open, mothers are weeping with their sons

When morning comes and I leave Berlin
My mind is turning, my heart is yearning for you and Berlin
In Amsterdam I'll see my lady,
I hope she'll love me
'Cause I'm gonna need her when I leave Berlin
When I leave Berlin
When I leave Berlin
When I leave Berlin
When I leave Berlin
