《The Dutchman》歌词

[00:00:00] The Dutchman - Will Millar

[00:00:01] Written by：Smith Michael Peter

[00:00:23] The Dutchman is not the kind of man

[00:00:26] To keep his thumb jammed in a dam that holds his dreams in

[00:00:34] But that's a secret only Margaret knows

[00:00:41] When Amsterdam is golden

[00:00:44] In the morning Margaret brings him breakfast she believes him

[00:00:52] He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow

[00:00:56] He's mad as he can be but Margaret only sees that sometimes

[00:01:02] Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes

[00:01:07] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:01:12] Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee

[00:01:18] Long a go I used to be a young man

[00:01:23] Now dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:01:50] The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes

[00:01:52] His hat and coat are patched with the love that Margaret sewed him

[00:02:00] Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam

[00:02:08] He watches tugboats down canals

[00:02:10] And calls out to them when he thinks he knows the captain

[00:02:18] 'Til Margaret comes to take him home again

[00:02:22] Through unforgiving streets that trip him though he holds her arm

[00:02:28] Sometimes he thinks that he's alone and calls her name

[00:02:33] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:02:38] Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee

[00:02:43] Long a go I used to be a young man

[00:02:48] Now dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:03:15] The windmills whirl the winter wind

[00:03:17] She winds his muffler tighter

[00:03:19] They sit in the kitchen

[00:03:26] Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew

[00:03:33] He sees her for a moment

[00:03:35] Calls her name

[00:03:36] She understands humming some old shadow love song

[00:03:44] He learned it wine the tune was very new

[00:03:48] He hums a line or two

[00:03:50] They hum together in the night

[00:03:53] That Dutchman falls asleep Margaret blows the candle out

[00:03:58] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:04:03] Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee

[00:04:08] Long a go I used to be a young man

[00:04:14] And dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:04:19] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:04:24] Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee

[00:04:29] Long a go I used to be a young man

[00:04:34] Now dear Margaret remembers that for me
