The Sun Goes Down

from "ZEROES" by Schönfeld

/

about

Back to Berlin '88 - a memory that stuck with me: at some time my friend and I were working as handymen in a synchronization studio in Neukölln. After we finished our shift we would grab a six-pack of beer and sit on the nearby observation platforms right next to the wall and philosophize about life,politics, death and other going-ons. Little did we know that only a few month later the platform and the wall would be consigned to history.

lyrics

Sitting on a platform a few steps from the Wall
Sipping cold cheap beer hoping time would stall
In our backs the cold early evening Neukölln sun
Was about to set and our work was done
We didn’t need much money if it wasn’t for the dope
On an island out of water the drugs kept us afloat

They said it had to be they said the time it had to come
Now the world is free still the sun goes down

We played out revolutions played guitars and played the spoons
In the end the end would come for the both of us too soon
Now the platform is dismantled and everywhere is west
But sometimes when I think back I like to think we did our best

The say it had to be they say the time it had to come
Some say it was you and me for us the sun went down
