If miles were only those of ants
And months could tick like seconds
It wouldn't be that easy for me
You wouldn't feel the rapture
You wouldn't hear the battles
Awoken, exploding in your heart

That's why I'm leaving
I'm leaving
Yes, I'm leaving
Berlin

The daunting cold winter
decided this for me
It built the piles of snow between hearts
But all of it determinedly
Will melt down from the Sun
That will shine on long after the war

That's why I'm leaving
I'm leaving
Yes, I'm leaving
Berlin
Oh yes, I'm leaving
Yes, I'm leaving
Yes, I'm leaving
Berlin

If miles were only those of ants
And months could tick like seconds
Well then it wouldn't be that easy for me
