Intro 


On the museum island,
        
At the end of the day,
       
we had travelled for miles,
       
We had come to escape
   
All the space on the page
                   
That the newspapers gave
                              
Up to pictures and pictures of us.

As we followed the coffin
    
Of your famous father.

Adjusting our skirts
    
As we turned at the altar.
    
And within every word
                           
That they'd written, was spelt out
                             
You'd taken your last ever bus.



So skimming the surface
       
Of all your new money,
  
we skimmed the surface
      
Of the air as we flew.
   
we were out of the rain,
                     
we were thinking that maybe
                            
Berlin was the place to renew.

    
well you know what they say
       
About terrible hate -
        
It will breed something good
          
When it's through.
      
At the end of the day,
                
By the Potsdamer Place
                     
And the Brandenburg Gate,
        
It was you.

hold C for interlude


You have hardened completely
       
By the end of this story,
        
You have learned to look clear
           
Through the flash of a bulb,
         
When you hear your own name
        
From the back of a crowd,
         
You just straighten your gaze,
       
No you don't turn around.
       
Oh but there was a time
       
At the end of the day,
        
We were both stood in line
       
At the museum display,
       
And you outshone the light
      
Under which you were bathed,
          
You could outshine the sky
         
With the look that you gave,
      
Oh so don't be afraid
        
To look back and wave,
                              
Now that waving is all that you do.
       
At the end of the day,
                 
By the Potsdamer Place,
                   
I am waving back at you.

So don't be afraid
       
To look back and wave,
                              
Now that waving is all that you do.
       
At the end of the day,
                
By the Potsdamer Place,
                  
I am waving back at you.
