End of an Era

You say you're leaving Berlin

You've been threatening for years, but this is it

Remember how we met

As strangers on the street

I said you were a creep

And so began our friendship

Soon we were together every day

Our favorite meeting place, our favorite café

Only so many times

These eras in our lives

We never realize till comes the turning of the tides

Now it's the end of an era

End of an era, my friend

(La, la, la, la, la)

(La, la, la, la, la)

It's the end of an era

End of an era when our lives did so effortlessly collide

We had a good time, didn't we?

We had a good time, didn't we?

(La, la, la, la, la)

(La, la, la, la, la)

Friendships don't end, we know

But time and place, the river flows

(End of an era)

(End of an era)

We'll meet in other circumstance

Five years we spent in a daily dance

(End of an era)

(End of an era)

How I'd often turn around and see (End of an era)

Your face remained for so long unfamiliar

It happened suddenly

A stranger you were to me

Next day I looked and realized that no one knew me better

It's the end of an era

End of an era, my friend

(La, la, la, la, la)

(La, la, la, la, la)

It's the end of an era

End of an era when our lives did so effortlessly collide

We had a good time, didn't we?

We had a good time, didn't we?

We had a good time

We leave a good thing for another good thing

We had a good time

We had a good time, didn't we?

End of an era

End of an era, my friend

(La, la, la, la, la)

(La, la, la, la, la)

It's the end of an era

End of an era when our lives did so effortlessly collide

We had a good time, didn't we?

We had a good time, didn't we?
