We cycled east in Berlin
To catch a piece of war
A jazz band was rehearsing
Behind a half closed door
The map we lost in Neukölln
Was stained with rain and beer
And the signposts they all shouted:
‘You are here, you are here’
I'd like to go to Paris
But what if I arrive
To find
Paris up in flames?
I'd like to go to Venice
But what if I arrive
To find
Venice lost to rain?
We walked the night in Dublin
Until our feet were raw
‘Til the pavements knew our secrets
And the sky began to pour
With whiskey on your lips you
Whispered in my ear
‘You are here, you are here
You are here’
I'd like to go Stockholm
But what if I arrived
To find
Silence in the streets?
I'd like to go Moscow
But what if I arrived
To find
Moscow fast asleep?
These dreams
They wash away, they wash away from me
These days
I hold on fast to land and sky and sea
These dreams
They rush away, they rush away from me
They break down, they break down
We broke down by the river
When we ran out of road
The padlocks on the railing
Were rusting in the snow
The seagulls on the storm wind
Cried out in love or fear:
‘You are here, you are here
You are here.
You are here, you are here
You are here…’
I'd like to go to Paris
But what if I arrive
To find
Paris up in flames?
I'd like to go to Venice
But what if I arrive
To find
