"A couple in love. It starts with her funeral then flashes back to their recent life, 'climbing together'. At the funeral again he sits with their friends. Flashback to the decision to be together and then reaching 'the top'. She walks off by herself and tragedy. Just before she 'ascends' they recall a happy moment in Venice, tinged with sadness at the end when she has a premonition of her own short future..."

Lyrics
Take all your chances while you can
You never know when they'll pass you by
Like a sum the mathematician cannot solve
Like me trying my hardest to explain
It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
Take me over
If I had the chance to start again
Then you would be the one I'd come and find
Like the poster of Berlin on my wall
Maybe there's a chance our walls might fall
It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
It's all about your cries and kisses
Those first steps that I can't calculate
I need some more of you to take me over
I know I because I cant calculate
How to respect you
How to start again
How to start again
How to start again
It's all about you
Faultless. Thanks and well done

not bad, though I keep thinking it could do with some valium-induced circus clowns frolicking slowly across the hills in the background....
