Lyrics

The cottage is windswept
Now there's only sorrow here
Follow evacuation signs
You're detached and broken
and so sentimental now
Remembering how we passed our time
Somebody waits for me
Far beyond our Halloween
Germanic forces marching on concrete squares
Our love is just defenceless sound
And could we believe that all you said was true
We would be so determined now
Somebody waits for me
Far beyond our Halloween
Slowly emerging Dividing Germany
Everyone's lost in East Berlin
Only believing just what you want to hear
We're waiting at stations once again
Somebody waits for me
Far beyond our Halloween
Somebody waits for me
Far beyond our Halloween
Written by: David Sylvian
