The Dutchman – Dutchman

The Dutchman – Dutchman Lyrics

Artist: The Dutchman
Song: Dutchman

Who keeps his thumb jammed in the dam
That holds his dreams in
That’s a secret that only Margaret knows
When Amsterdam is golden in the summer

Margaret brings him breakfast, she believes him
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow
He’s mad as he can be, 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
Dear Margaret remembers that for me

And his cap and coat are patched with the love
Margaret sewed there
Sometimes he thinks he’s still in Rotterdam
He watches the tug-boats down canals

An’ calls out to them when he thinks he knows the Captain
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 winters whirl the windmills ’round
She winds his muffler tighter, they sit in the kitchen
Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew
He sees her for a moment, he calls her name

She makes the bed up singing some old love song
She learned it when the song was very new
He hums a line or two, they hum together in the dark
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
