The Lonely Spy Lyrics

My icy hands froze long ago, the starry skies are lost in snow
And I'm waiting
But twelve o'clock has come and gone, the Berlin train leaves at one
Have I missed you?
The moon casts shadows on the plans we made, your note spells danger and I'm afraid
What will I do?
The Red Square winds are blowing, snow drifts round my feet
And there's no way out of Russia when the iron curtains meet
The Kremlin walls are laughing and only I can see
There's no way out of Russia for the lonely spy and me
I remember when you told me your secrets, have they discovered? Are you caught in there?
Where are you?
The cold wind breathes, there's a chilling breath, a double agent could freeze to death
Oh, have you?
A whistle blows, a spotlight shines, your silhouette with the guards behind

They've caught you
You try to run, I cry with fear, a single shot, now you can't hear
I'm lonely
The Red Square winds are blowing, snow drifts round my feet
And there's no way out of Russia when the iron curtains meet
The Kremlin walls are laughing and only I can see
There's no way out of Russia for the lonely spy and me
For the lonely spy and me
For the lonely spy and me
