It's the coldest day of the winter
I'm rising to you again
Just to see if you keep all these letters

Or use them for blooding your fountain pen

If you throw them all on the fire

That you keep for your gentle ...
She said take it or leave it
Take it or leave it

Take it or leave it, not ...

In the summer I went to Berlin

Just to stand in cathedral square
To look down through the glass of the bookshelf
And read all the books that were no longer there


And I asked myself ...
I remember does anyone care

She said take it or leave it
Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it, it's all like a spell


You were holding my hand when you told me
That nothing was too great to fall

Then you cursed me for my insistence
Then my loneliness was political


So you followed the road back to Paris
And I went once again to the wall
She said take it or leave it

Take it or leave it,
Take it or leave it, that will be all


And I don't know what I was expecting
It's all happened years ago
Maybe it's 'cause I remember this

When the ... on the ground has been covered in snow

And maybe my mind is distorted

Then again how the hell would I know
She said take it or leave it
Take it or leave it

Take it or leave it, I think you should go

And I'm gone to ... the rest

Take it or leave she said
I took it and left
Take it or leave it she said, I took it then left
