st petersburg

Lyrics

so i came to your door, with my bag and nothing more, in the dead of night, took a stone in hand, threw it gently at your glass, so that i might have the chance, to awaken you, and you came to your door, looking soft and looking warm, only half awake, you didn't ask a thing, i heard the curlew sing, you said i need to sleep, come to bed with me, i have heard, in st. petersburg, the autumn leaves, fill the streets, so that even non-believers see, will you come, through the cities in the east, let the trains rock us to sleep, through the valleys to the sea, hear the church bells ringing in, through the cobbled avenues of berlin, will you come, under canvas in the fields, while the sun sinks through the trees, work our bones hard through the days, maybe see what we can save, fly away from here, i have heard, in st. petersburg, the autumn leaves, fill the streets, so that even non-believers see, i have heard, in st. petersburg, the autumn leaves, fill the streets, so that even non-believers see, non-believers see, non-believers see, non-believers see, non-believers see
