The Blackest Years

Oh Berlin, your heart has been drawn and quartered again
 Oh, the East and the West were divided by a wall that staunched their freedom
 Well, the wall came down in 1989, but its ghost still refuses to leave
 These hauntings are so reputative, there's a bit of you in me
 Let's go!
 Oh Berlin, your life's on fire, burns deep within this heart of mine
 You got astronomical, economical, suffering for a century
 And when the ocean swells that day, I'll get on my ship and I'll sail away
 On this ship, on this ship, on this ship, oh
 And when you're all alone, don't forget me
 And when I'm all alone, I won't forget you
 And when you're all alone, don't forget me
 'Cause I'm on the wrong side of the tracks
 But I did not know until you turned your back
 I'm livin' the blackest years of my life
 But I did not know until you said goodbye
 Goodbye!
 Oh, Berlin your witness stands here
 On this city shamed kinda day
 I'm going home, hey
 I'm going home, hey
 I'm going home
 I'm going home
 I'm going home, hey
 I'm going home, hey
 I'm going home
 I'm going home
 I'm going home, hey
 I'm going home, hey
 I'm going home
 I'm going home
 I'm going home, hey
 I'm going home, hey
 I'm going home
 And when you're all alone, don't forget me
 And when I'm all alone, I won't forget you
 And when you're all alone, don't forget me
 'Cause I'm on the wrong side of the tracks
 But I did not know until you turned your back
 Livin' the blackest years of my life
 But I did not know until you said goodbye
 Goodbye!
 We were young girls in a small world
 I'm on your doorstep man, ringin' your bell again
 Ringin' your bell again
 We were young girls in a small fucked world
 I'm on your doorstep man, ringin' your bell again
 I'm ringin' your bell again
 I'm sorry Gertie Rouge
 Oh, that you free

 Oh, Gertie Rouge

 We were young girls in a small world
 I'm on your doorstep man, ringin' your bell again
 I'm ringin' your bell again

 I'm on your doorstep man, ringin' your bell again
 I'm ringin' your bell again
