This track was written about a relationship affected by the Berlin Wall.
lyrics
It feels like nothing’s changed but I can tell,
The same town but everything has gone to hell,
I hope it snows to hide the ridges on my face,
I tried to lose, those memories that I can’t erase...
Since then, made to leave you there,
Alone, crying on the other side,
I know, I know...
So long staring at that concrete wall,
Dividing, then block by Bloc began to fall,
I hope it snows to cool the burning of my heart,
It’s molten still from all the years we’ve been apart,
Since then, made to leave you there,
Alone, crying on the other side,
I know, I know...
Then we met, I think it took you by surprise,
“I've missed you, your daughter has her mother’s eyes”
I hope it snows to cover footprints that remain,
You’re happy now, what difference did it really make...
Since then, made to leave you there,
Alone, crying on the other side,
I know, I know...
