When Amsterdam is golden,

in the morning
Margaret brings him breakfast

She believes him
thinks the tulips bloom
beneath the snow
He's mad as he can be, but
Margaret only sees that sometimes
Sometimes she sees her

unborn children in his eyes
He's mad as he can be, but
Margaret only sees that sometimes
Sometimes she sees her

unborn children in his eyes
Let us go to the banks ofthe ocean
Where the walls rise
above the Zuider Zee
Long ago, I used to be ayoung man
And dear Margaret

remembers that for me
Sometimes he thinks

he's still in Rotterdam
'Til Margaret comes to

take him home again
Let us go to the banks ofthe ocean
Where the walls rise
above the Zuider Zee
Long ago, I used to be ayoung man
And dear Margaret

remembers that for me
The windmills swore a wintering

She winds his muffler tighter
They sit in, the kitchen,
Some tea with
whiskey keeps

away the dew
Some tea with

whiskey keeps

away the dew
She learned it when

the tune was very new
She hums a line or two,

they hum together
in the night
The Dutchman falls
asleep and Margaret

blows the candle out
Let us go to the banks ofthe ocean
Where the walls rise
above the Zuider Zee
Long ago, I used to be ayoung man
And dear Margaret

remembers that for me
Long ago, I used to be a young man

And dear Margaret

remembers that for me
Let us go to the banks ofthe ocean
Where the walls rise
above the Zuider Zee
Long ago, I used to be ayoung man
And dear Margaret

remembers that for me
Where the walls rise

above the Zuider Zee

Long ago, I used to be a young man

And dear Margaret

remembers that for me
Long ago, I used to be a young man

And dear Margaret

remembers that for me
And dear Margaret

remembers that for me
