The Dutchman's not the kind of man[00:00:06]
To keep his thumb jammed in the dam[00:00:09]
That holds his dreams in [00:00:13]
But that's a secret that only Margaret knows [00:00:20]
When Amsterdam is golden in the morning [00:00:25]
Margaret brings him breakfast [00:00:29]
She believes him [00:00:32]
He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow [00:00:38]
He's mad as he can be but Margaret only sees that sometimes [00:00:42]
Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes [00:00:48]
Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:00:58]
Where the walls rise above the Zuider Zee [00:01:05]
Long ago I used to be a young man[00:01:11]
But dear Margaret remembers that for me [00:01:17]
The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes [00:01:27]
His cap and coat are patched with the love[00:01:30]
That Margaret sewed there [00:01:33]
Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam [00:01:39]
He watches the tug-boats down canals[00:01:45]
And calls out to them when he thinks he knows the Captain [00:01:48]
Till Margaret comes[00:01:58]
To take him home again[00:01:59]
Through unforgiving streets that trip him though she holds his arm [00:02:03]
Sometimes he thinks he's alone and he calls her name [00:02:09]
Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:02:19]
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee [00:02:25]
Long ago I used to be a young man[00:02:31]
But dear Margaret remembers that for me [00:02:37]
The windmills whirl the winter in[00:02:47]
She winds his muffler tighter[00:02:50]
And they sit in the kitchen [00:02:52]
Some tea with whiskey keeps away the dew [00:03:00]
He sees her for a moment calls her name [00:03:05]
She makes his bed up singing some old love song [00:03:09]
She learned it when the tune was very new [00:03:18]
He hums a line or two they hum together in the dark [00:03:23]
The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out [00:03:29]
Let us go to the banks of the ocean[00:03:41]
Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee [00:03:47]
Long ago I used to be a young man[00:03:54]
But dear Margaret remembers that for me[00:04:00]
