lyrics

This city is a drug
Waiting to be swept
Under the rug
Of memory,
So sweep me off my feet
One last time
In a spin
Before they pull the plug

Why'd it take so long
To get to old Amsterdam?
I guess I just amble along
Without a plan
And why'd it take so long
For our paths to cross?
But now that they have
Let's meet again and share a song
In old Amsterdam before it's gone

The buds are in bloom
Inside a darkened room
While seeds of change
Are scattered in the gloom.
Some say it's a crime
But the only crime is

That it took so long
For you to be mine
I guess I just amble along
Taking my time
And why'd it take so long
For our paths to cross?
But now that they have
Let's meet again and share a song
Oh old Amsterdam, before you're gone
