Pre-berlin

A Balladeer

Just a perfect day (for this time of year) 
We're making away with right in the rear 
An Indian Summer sun, red 

Berlin ahead 

The sky so pretty through the open roof 
And I so witty - your laughter, my proof 
All your glee 
Through your hand on my knee 

The memory's alive tonight 
The driver's seat feels quite alright 
And I don't know what it is 
But I think I could get used to this 

The lamppost lights are a canopy of stars 
But you on my right you light up the car 
The road and me 
Your hand on my knee 

More on than off it distracts my pedal foot 
As we fall in love with Parachutes 

Yeah, we do – 
Yeah, we do 

The memory's alive tonight 
The driver's seat feels quite alright 
And I don't know what it is 
But I think I could get used to this 

I am aware and sad somehow 
This is here, this is now 
How I love to be in this state we're in 
Right before we take Berlin 

Before we take Berlin 

We're moving too fast 
Let's take another five 
I'd just like it to last 
This six hour drive 
A few hours more 

Snacks and gas galore 

The memory's alive tonight 
The driver's seat feels quite alright 
And I don't know what it is 
But I think I could get used to this 

I am aware and sad somehow 
This is here, this is now 
How I love to be in this state we're in 
Right before we take Berlin 

Don't tell me you don't feel this, too
