lyrics

13. Amsterdam

I left you in a shower of rain
Heading home on the evening train
Will I ever know love like that again?
Oh Amsterdam

Got the music of bicycles in my ears
I’ve been on the run all these years
One day I’ll stop and face my fears
Oh Amsterdam

You waved goodbye and blew me a kiss
I knew right away all the things I’d miss
The agony of just touching bliss
Oh Amsterdam

Now I glimpse you in shadows in the park
The sun on the water, the lights in the dark
Maybe somehow I left my mark
On you Amsterdam

And home lies over the cold North Sea
There’s nothing much left here for me
At least I loved, at least I was free,
In Amsterdam
