Amsterdam Songtext
von The Carrivick Sisters

She floats into the bar
Pale pink with rose perfume
Long hair up in a head scarf
Sequins light the gloom

Her accent is peculiar
From many years abroad
English words and youthful charms
Long since began to fade

She says: I came here for the music, I came here to dance
I heard it was the place to be, Amsterdam


She was a ballerina
She could twirl and leap and fly
Though age has slowed her down
She still seems feather-light

She says: I came here for the music, I came here to dance
I heard it was the place to be, Amsterdam

So while we sing and play
Eyes closed, arms stretched out wide
All eyes are upon her
As she begins to dance

She says: I came here for the music, I came here to dance
I heard it was the place to be, Amsterdam

I heard it was the place to be, Amsterdam
