Amsterdam - White Hinterland

In the rain in Amsterdam

I thought I saw you

In a window looking back

Over your shoulder

In the rain in Amsterdam

I was writing to you

On a postcard

I never bothered to send

There were doves

Circling above me

And tulips all around

What were you trying to tell me?

I could not make it out

In the rain in Amsterdam

I thought I caught you

Bent over the canals

Gazing at your own reflection

In the rain in Amsterdam

I saw little of the city

Only water, so much water

Falling in a veil around me

Who’s to say how long

'til this rain is done?
