《The Dutchman》歌词

[00:00:00] The Dutchman - John McDermott

[00:00:01] Written by：M.P. Smith

[00:00:08] The Dutchman's not the kind of man

[00:00:11] To keep his thumb jammed in the dam

[00:00:14] That holds his dreams in

[00:00:22] But that's a secret only Margaret knows

[00:00:29] When Amsterdam is golden in the morning

[00:00:34] Margaret brings him breakfast

[00:00:37] She believes him

[00:00:44] He thinks the tulips bloom

[00:00:47] Beneath the snows

[00:00:50] He's mad as he can be

[00:00:53] But Margaret only sees that sometimes

[00:00:57] Sometimes she sees her unborn children

[00:01:02] In his eyes

[00:01:08] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:01:16] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:01:23] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:01:30] And dear Margaret remembers a away

[00:01:42] The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes

[00:01:46] His cap and his coat are patched with love

[00:01:49] That Margaret sewed in

[00:01:57] Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam

[00:02:04] He watches tug boats down canals

[00:02:08] And calls out to them

[00:02:10] When he thinks he knows the captain

[00:02:19] 'Til Margaret comes to take him home again

[00:02:25] Through unforgiving streets

[00:02:28] A tripping though she holds his arm

[00:02:33] Sometimes he thinks that he's alone

[00:02:37] And calls her name

[00:02:44] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:02:52] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:02:59] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:03:06] And dear Margaret remembers that away

[00:03:22] The windmills swirl The winter air

[00:03:25] She winds his muffler tighter

[00:03:28] They sit in the kitchen

[00:03:36] And the tea with wiskey keep away the dew

[00:03:44] He sees her for a moment calls her name

[00:03:48] She makes his bed up

[00:03:51] Humming some old love song

[00:03:59] She learned it when the tune was vey new

[00:04:06] He hums a line or two they hum together in the night

[00:04:13] The Dutchman falls asleep

[00:04:16] And Margaret blows the candle out

[00:04:25] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:04:34] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:04:41] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:04:48] And dear Margaret remembers that away

[00:04:56] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:05:03] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:05:10] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:05:17] And dear Margaret remembers that away
