《The Dutchman》歌词

[00:00:06] The Dutchman's not the kind of man

[00:00:09] To keep his thumb jammed in the dam

[00:00:13] That holds his dreams in

[00:00:20] But that's a secret that only Margaret knows

[00:00:25] When Amsterdam is golden in the morning

[00:00:29] Margaret brings him breakfast

[00:00:32] She believes him

[00:00:38] He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow

[00:00:42] He's mad as he can be but Margaret only sees that sometimes

[00:00:48] Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes

[00:00:58] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:01:05] Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee

[00:01:11] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:01:17] But dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:01:27] The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes

[00:01:30] His cap and coat are patched with the love

[00:01:33] That Margaret sewed there

[00:01:39] Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam

[00:01:45] He watches the tug-boats down canals

[00:01:48] And calls out to them when he thinks he knows the Captain

[00:01:58] Till Margaret comes

[00:01:59] To take him home again

[00:02:03] Through unforgiving streets that trip him though she holds his arm

[00:02:09] Sometimes he thinks he's alone and he calls her name

[00:02:19] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:02:25] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:02:31] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:02:37] But dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:02:47] The windmills whirl the winter in

[00:02:50] She winds his muffler tighter

[00:02:52] And they sit in the kitchen

[00:03:00] Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew

[00:03:05] He sees her for a moment calls her name

[00:03:09] She makes his bed up singing some old love song

[00:03:18] She learned it when the tune was very new

[00:03:23] He hums a line or two they hum together in the dark

[00:03:29] The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out

[00:03:41] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:03:47] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:03:54] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:04:00] But dear Margaret remembers that for me
