White Hinterland Amsterdam
In the rain in Amsterdam
I thought I saw you
In a window looking back
Over your shoulder
In the rain in Amsterdam
I was writing to you
On a postcard
I never bothered to send
There were doves
Circling above me
And tulips all around
What were you trying to tell me?
I could not make it out.
In the rain in Amsterdam
I thought I caught you
Bent over the canals
Gazing at your own reflection
In the rain in Amsterdam
I saw little of the city
Only water, so much water
Falling in a veil around me
Who's to say how long
'til this rain is done?
