A man was falling like a leaf
He changed his mind halfway down
Oh Stockholm
He turned into a butterfly
And flew away out of this town
Way away from Stockholm

A solitary trumpet plays
For him, for loss and love somehow
Oh Stockholm
And snowflakes cover earth and doubt
A captive loves her captor’s vow
Way away in Stockholm

These streets are so cold
Their beauty blinding
Be aware of your soul
In the lonely pain that binds you
There are demons out to find you

Children, hold your mother’s hand
Don't forget, eyes to the sky
Oh Stockholm
And someday you might understand
Broken hearts and butterflies
Way away in Stockholm

These streets are so cold
Their beauty blinding
Be aware of your soul
In the lonely pain that binds you
There are demons out to find you
