the dutchman Lyrics – the high kings

Singer: the high kings
Title: the dutchman

The dutchman lyrics
The dutchman’s not the kind of man
To keeps his thumb jammed in the dam
That holds his dreams in

But that’s a secret that only margaret knows
When amsterdam is golden, in the morning
Margaret brings him breakfast
She believes him

He 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
Let us go to the banks of the ocean

Where the walls rise above the zuider zee
Long ago, i used to be a young man
And dear margaret remembers that for me
The dutchman still wears wooden shoes

His cap and coat are patched with the love
That margaret sewed in
Sometimes he thinks he’s still in rotterdam
He watches tug~boats down c~n~ls

Calls out to them when he thinks he knows the captain
’til margaret comes to take him home again
Through unforgiving streets that trip him, though she holds his arm
Sometimes he thinks he’s alone and he calls her name

Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the zuider zee
Long ago, i used to be a young man
And dear margaret remembers that for me

The windmills swore a wintering
She winds his m~ffler tighter
They sit in the kitchen
Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew

He sees her for a moment, calls her name
She makes his bed up humming some old song
She learned it when that you 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 of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the zuider zee
Long ago, i used to be a young man

And dear margaret remembers that for me
Let us go to the banks of the ocean
Where the walls rise above the zuider zee
Long ago, i used to be a young man

And dear margaret remembers that for me
