Alexander Platz

Alexander Platz
And suddenly came the month of February
It was cold in that house
You kept telling me: you know, in Winter you live well like in
Spring! Yes, yes, exactly like that.
The janitor came back from school a little earlier to help me
'I see you tired, you have bags under your eyes
how do you find yourself in East Berlin?'
Alexander Platz, goodbye
there was snow
I take a walk on foot
until the border:
'I'm coming with you'.
And in the evening I always came home late
only my steps along the avenues
and I liked it
dusting, making the beds
then staying aside like a true princess
a prisoner of her movie
waiting at the corner like Marlene.
You have bags under your eyes
how do you find yourself in East Berlin?
Alexander Platz, goodbye
there was snow
see you tonight outside the theater
'do you like Schubert?'
