lyrics

The indigo skyline rages a warning
We have stayed too long in this place
The victory creatures are creeping in
Our history greets us

Goodbye to Berlin
Goodbye to all that
We’ll meet again or so they say
Goodbye to your mother
We’re willing each other
To stay awhile

Crossborder bloodlines
Words getting stuck in my teeth
They’re putting up walls inside families
But we’ll keep on dancing ‘til they tell us no
We’ll keep on dancing

Goodbye to Berlin
Goodbye to all that
We’ll meet again or so they say
Goodbye to your mother
We’re willing each other
To stay awhile
To stay awhile

Sound the carillon bells
Sounds the carillon bells
Sound the carillon bells
Sound the carillon bells
I’m not going home

Goodbye to Berlin
Goodbye to all that
We’ll meet again or so they say
Goodbye to your mother
We’re willing each other
To stay

Goodbye to Berlin
Goodbye to all that
We’ll meet again or so they say
Goodbye to your mother
We’re willing each other
To stay awhile

Zoe has such a pure voice. I have only heard one song, which I mixed, with the Honeybees. I look forward to hearing this CD. briankutscher

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance. Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
