lyrics

Come on, Sally
who says that in mixed company now

We were at a restaurant
in Tiergarten
I tried to introduce you to my friend
Things got cold
right away
as I thought they would
but that is part of the fun

We went for a long walk afterwards
the sun started coming out
you could hear the birds
even in winter
something is still alive
I listen for my breath at night
just to make sure
just to make sure I'm alive

The wind hits the windowpane
the wind
it carries off down the street
There is someone standing
off by himself
in an overcoat
he turns around
I can tell he's smoking a cigarette

It starts to snow
and the wind hits the windowpane
again
the light from the streetlight
only goes so far

I didn't see you until almost two weeks later
not much had changed
the sky is overcast again
you are just finding your way

It is late afternoon
we run into each other
outside the department store
there are people outside
telling you not to go in
but you go in anyway
