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 tides Now 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 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 We had a good time We leave a good thing for another good thing We had a good time We had a good time didn’t we 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
I listen to this now everyday getting ready in the morning, on the bus, even while working sometimes. I have lived in Germany as an expat for the past 4.5 years now, I leave in a few months. And it is so hard, to leave the friendships behind. People don't listen to the rumors, Germans when sincere will show what friendship really could be. Very hard to part with them.
