Convent Amsterdam
I REMEMBER THIS CITY IT WAS YEARS AGO YELLING CHILDREN AND A SCHOOLBELL WAS RINGING COLOURLESS THOUGHTS FROM EIGHT TILL FOUR AND THE TIME YEAH THE TIME WAS SLIPPING AWAY
AMSTERDAM ANOTHER DARK CITY WHERE HEROINFACES STILL HANGING AROUND AND ALL THOSE YEARS I SPEND A LIFETIME BUT STILL I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HEY SOMETIMES I MISS YOU
(CHORUS)
DOWN DOWN TO THE PLACE I USED TO LIVE AND WHERE I COME FROM FAR FAR FAR AWAY FROM THE PLACE I USED TO STAY IS WHERE THE HEART IS AND WHERE THE LOVE LIVES
ALL THESE TOURISTBOATS STRANGERS AT NIGHT WALKED DOWN THE STREET WITH THE RED LIGHT SO BRIGHT AND THEN THEY OBSERVED THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT WHILE HIDING THEIR FACES LIKE THIEVES IN THE NIGHT
AMSTERDAM DARK GREY AND COLD I REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT MY TEACHER ONCE TOLD THESE WORDS ARE BANGING LIKE A HAMMER IN MY HEAD "HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS" HEY WHAT'S A HEART WITHOUT A HOME ?
(CHORUS)
DOWN DOWN TO THE PLACE........(2x)
