2 Magnetic East - The Doorway

She was stone in the doorway
It kinda took me by surprise
Oh 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
Picked it up right there

I gave her 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
Oh and then
Oh Vienna

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
Oh and then
Oh Vienna
