Won't you walk me through the tiergarten? Won't you walk me through it all, darling? Doesn't matter if it is raining Won't you walk me through it all? Even if the sun, it is blazing Even if the snow, it is raging All the elements we must conquer To get to the other side of town I have suffered shipwreck against your dark brown eyes I have run aground against your broken down smiles Believe me when I tell you I have no place to go But to go where the wild flowers grow and the stone gardens bloom (And the stone gardens bloom...) Won't you walk me through the tiergarten? Won't you walk me through it all, darling? Doesn't matter if it is raining We'll get to the other side of town
