about

Based on a true story from 1980's Vienna.

lyrics

She was stone in the doorway it kinda took me by surprise
It's all in the eyes everybody says
If there was some kinda prize for blowing all your lines
I could've just stopped off and picked it up right there

I gave here a smile and walked on around 3am

Oh Vienna we didn't have many years
But you had packed a lifetime into yours
I saw things there I didn't want to see
But you couldn't keep the scars from me
So for a second we were close
And then Oh Vienna

I looked into those eyes she was 18 going on 65
I should've been the best thing that she'd ever scented
She just sized me up with a look and a little shrug
But for just a moment I saw what she was trying to hide

Took a moment to sort my tongue but the damage was already done
She saw that I had nothing, nothing wise to say
But I still had a choice if I could've found where I'd put my voice
I really would've liked to take all your pain away

Oh Vienna we didn't shed any tears
But I couldn't cross from my world into yours
I couldn't look away from you
And I didn't know even half the truth
So for a second we were close and then
Oh Vienna
