END OF AN ERA

You say you're leaving Berlin
You've been threatening for years
But this is it
Remember how we met
As strangers on the street
I said you were a creep
And so began our friendship

Soon we were together every day
Our favourite meeting place
Our favourite cafe
Only so many times
These eras our lives
We never realize
Till come the turning of the tidesNow it's the end of an era
End of an era, my friend
(La la la la la)
(La la la la la)
It's the end of an era
End of an era when our lives
Did so effortlessly collide
We had a good time didn't we
We had a good time didn't we

Friendships don't end we know
But time and place, the river flows
(End of an era)
(End of an era)
We'll meet in other circumstance
Five years we spent in a daily dance
(End of an era)
(End of an era)

How I'd often turn around and see
Your face remained for so long unfamiliar
It happened suddenly
A stranger you were to me
Next day I looked and realized
That no one knew me better
