The Dutchman - Will Millar[00:00:00]

Written by：Smith Michael Peter[00:00:01]

The Dutchman is not the kind of man[00:00:23]

To keep his thumb jammed in a dam that holds his dreams in[00:00:26]

But that's a secret only Margaret knows[00:00:34]

When Amsterdam is golden[00:00:41]

In the morning Margaret brings him breakfast she believes him[00:00:44]

He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow[00:00:52]

He's mad as he can be but Margaret only sees that sometimes[00:00:56]

Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes[00:01:02]

Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:01:07]

Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee[00:01:12]

Long a go I used to be a young man[00:01:18]

Now dear Margaret remembers that for me[00:01:23]

The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes[00:01:50]

His hat and coat are patched with the love that Margaret sewed him[00:01:52]

Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam[00:02:00]

He watches tugboats down canals[00:02:08]

And calls out to them when he thinks he knows the captain[00:02:10]

'Til Margaret comes to take him home again[00:02:18]

Through unforgiving streets that trip him though he holds her arm[00:02:22]

Sometimes he thinks that he's alone and calls her name[00:02:28]

Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:02:33]

Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee[00:02:38]

Long a go I used to be a young man[00:02:43]

Now dear Margaret remembers that for me[00:02:48]

The windmills whirl the winter wind[00:03:15]

She winds his muffler tighter[00:03:17]

They sit in the kitchen[00:03:19]

Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew[00:03:26]

He sees her for a moment[00:03:33]

Calls her name[00:03:35]

She understands humming some old shadow love song[00:03:36]

He learned it wine the tune was very new[00:03:44]

He hums a line or two[00:03:48]

They hum together in the night[00:03:50]

That Dutchman falls asleep Margaret blows the candle out[00:03:53]

Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:03:58]

Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee[00:04:03]

Long a go I used to be a young man[00:04:08]

And dear Margaret remembers that for me[00:04:14]

Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:04:19]

Where the walls rise above the Zuider zee[00:04:24]

Long a go I used to be a young man[00:04:29]

Now dear Margaret remembers that for me[00:04:34]
