Is Berlin really for lovers Is Venice lonely at last I wanna find you Where you've never been hidden And run like a criminal into your grass You can't deny the hills From which you've already grown The mountains called Their defenses down The leaves have shaken all the trees Out of their ground The river's run has left you golden, alone Is Richmond ready with romance Is London wearing your coat I wanna kiss you where you've never been christened And dive like a falcon into your boat On Sunday you will (I have hope) With your heart, packed, racing With your eager hands chasing (Oh, and it'll be known) Around his love The forest will sing out "We want your children now!" And in a warm engine We shall cut the pacific Yes, Berlin is for lovers London - never heard a better name I'm bound to love Where you've never ever been living And stand like a lion At your gates
