john gorka - the dutchman lyrics
[verse 1]
the dutchman’s not the kind of man
who keeps his thumb jammed in the dam
that holds his dreams in
but that’s a secret that only margaret knows
when amsterdam is golden in the summer
margaret brings him breakfast
she believes him
he thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow
[pre+chorus]
he’s mad as he can be, but margaret only sees that sometimes
sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes
[chorus]
let us go to the banks of the ocean
wherе the walls rise above thе zuider zee
long ago, i used to be a young man
now dear margaret remembers that for me
[verse 2]
the dutchman still wears wooden shoes
his cap and coat are patched with the love
that margaret sewed there
sometimes he thinks he’s still in rotterdam
he watches the tug+boats down c+n+ls
calls out to them when he thinks he knows the captain
till margaret comes to take him home again
[pre+chorus]
through unforgiving streets that trip him, though she holds his arm
sometimes he thinks he’s alone and he calls her name
[chorus]
let us go to the banks of the ocean
where the walls rise above the zuider zee
long ago, i used to be a young man
now dear margaret remembers that for me
[verse 3]
the windmills whirl the winter in
she winds his m+ffler tighter
as they sit in the kitchen
some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew
he sees her for a moment, calls her name out
while she makes the bed up singing some old love song
a song margaret learned when it was very new
[pre+chorus]
he hums a line or two, they sing together in the dark
the dutchman falls asleep and margaret blows the candle out
[chorus]
let us go to the banks of the ocean
where the walls rise above the zuider zee
long ago, i used to be a young man
now dear margaret remembers that for me
[chorus]
let us go to the banks of the ocean
where the walls rise above the zuider zee
long ago, i used to be a young man
now dear margaret remembers that for me
[outro]
now dear margaret remembers that for me
