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
