lyrics

UNTER DEN LINDEN

Life of late had been a tired dance.
Monotone. All alone.
Without a spark of scandal or romance.
No racier, than a glacier.
Then last night, as snow fell on the linden-trees,
I saw you and heard an angel choir.
My heart felt big and light, like the Hindenburg,
And every bit as likely to catch fire.

Your eyes invited across the street.
Your eyes delighted, and so two strangers came to meet.
And now I'm wondering where I left my hat.
Oh fancy that!

I've hardly met you but nonetheless,
I can't forget you, I'll dream tonight of your caress,
Instead of wondering how I lost my scarf.
It makes me laugh.

Without my scarf Berlin is awfully cold,
The snow is blanketing the street.
I think of you, so beautiful, so bold,
Your bed still warm with our bodies' lingering heat.

The chimes are ringing across the square.
My heart is singing to picture you still lying there.
And now I wish I hadn't walked away.
What might you say?

A chance liaison has drawn me in,
Romance emblazoned in lines of fire across my skin.
The touch of you I simply won't resist.
The ice has melted everywhere you've kissed.

And so I pause, and turn my feet,
And hurry through the frozen street.
To mein Hut, mein Schal, und dir.
