Silent so silent and silently   One tear for my years   White days after white days   The old churches still remembering   Whispers and souls of youngmen in love   And now I recall the warm heart of my emotion      The silence all around the snowy gardens   And late at night the last open cafe in a dark street   Down some stairs   She's gone into a distant light      Silent so silent and silently   One stone for my years   And all the others are gone      The silence all around the snowy gardens   And late at night the last open cafe   In a dark street down some stairs   The fable's ending   Vienna is still shining   Her chant cuts with a lament   The dying sunset beams   Blue blood of Winter   She's gone into a distant light
