Always Vienna

There was an old world once upon ago
Some things always change
Sometimes our new gods bring us troubled sleep
Sleep brings happy dreams

Always vienna
Cobblestone memories
Everywhere children
Never a care
Always vienna
Die liebe mutter [beloved mother]
Always vienna in my dreams
There are some windows that
We're born to break
Opening doors won't do
Sometimes the price of glass is bitter tears
Tears wash lovely dreams

Always vienna
Lights on the river
Crystalline waltzes
Never a care
Always vienna
Nights soft as music
Always vienna in my dreams

There is a house of cards
Where castles stood
Now we call it home
Sometimes we have to burn old houses down
Ashes fuel our dreams

Always vienna
Always my martha
Always the dancing
Never a care
Always vienna
Always the magic
Always vienna in my dreams
