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 Aah-ah, aah-ah, aah-ah, aah-ah-ah-ah 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 Aah-ah, aah-ah, aah-ah, aah-ah-ah-ah These streets are so cold Their beauty blinding Beware 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 Aah-ah, aah-ah, aah-ah, aah-ah-ah-ah Aah-ah, aah-ah, aah-ah, aah-ah-ah-ah These streets are so cold Their beauty blinding Beware of your soul In the lonely pain that binds you There are demons out to find you
