The Dutchman - John McDermott[00:00:00]

Written by：M.P. Smith[00:00:01]

The Dutchman's not the kind of man[00:00:08]

To keep his thumb jammed in the dam[00:00:11]

That holds his dreams in[00:00:14]

But that's a secret only Margaret knows[00:00:22]

When Amsterdam is golden in the morning[00:00:29]

Margaret brings him breakfast[00:00:34]

She believes him[00:00:37]

He thinks the tulips bloom[00:00:44]

Beneath the snows[00:00:47]

He's mad as he can be[00:00:50]

But Margaret only sees that sometimes[00:00:53]

Sometimes she sees her unborn children[00:00:57]

In his eyes[00:01:02]

Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:01:08]

Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee[00:01:16]

Long ago I used to be a young man[00:01:23]

And dear Margaret remembers a away[00:01:30]

The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes[00:01:42]

His cap and his coat are patched with love[00:01:46]

That Margaret sewed in[00:01:49]

Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam[00:01:57]

He watches tug boats down canals[00:02:04]

And calls out to them[00:02:08]

When he thinks he knows the captain[00:02:10]

'Til Margaret comes to take him home again[00:02:19]

Through unforgiving streets[00:02:25]

A tripping though she holds his arm[00:02:28]

Sometimes he thinks that he's alone[00:02:33]

And calls her name[00:02:37]

Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:02:44]

Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee[00:02:52]

Long ago I used to be a young man[00:02:59]

And dear Margaret remembers that away[00:03:06]

The windmills swirl The winter air[00:03:22]

She winds his muffler tighter[00:03:25]

They sit in the kitchen[00:03:28]

And the tea with wiskey keep away the dew[00:03:36]

He sees her for a moment calls her name[00:03:44]

She makes his bed up[00:03:48]

Humming some old love song[00:03:51]

She learned it when the tune was vey new[00:03:59]

He hums a line or two they hum together in the night[00:04:06]

The Dutchman falls asleep[00:04:13]

And Margaret blows the candle out[00:04:16]

Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:04:25]

Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee[00:04:34]

Long ago I used to be a young man[00:04:41]

And dear Margaret remembers that away[00:04:48]

Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:04:56]

Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee[00:05:03]

Long ago I used to be a young man[00:05:10]

And dear Margaret remembers that away[00:05:17]
