《The Dutchman》歌词

[00:00:00] The Dutchman - The Houghton Weavers

[00:00:07] The Dutchman's not the kind of man

[00:00:10] To keep his thumb jammed in the dam

[00:00:13] That holds his dreams in

[00:00:19] That's a secret only Margaret knows

[00:00:25] When Amsterdam is golden in the morning

[00:00:29] Margaret brings him breakfast and she believes him

[00:00:38] He thinks the tulips bloom beneath the snow

[00:00:43] He's mad as he can be

[00:00:45] But Margaret only sees that sometimes

[00:00:49] Sometimes she sees her unborn children in his eyes

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

[00:01:02] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:01:08] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:01:14] But dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:01:22] The Dutchman still wears wooden shoes

[00:01:25] His cap and coat are patched

[00:01:28] With the love that Margaret sewn in

[00:01:35] Sometimes he thinks he's still in Rotterdam

[00:01:40] He watches tugboats down canals

[00:01:43] And calls out to them when he thinks he knows the captain

[00:01:53] Till Margaret comes to take him home again

[00:01:58] Through the unforgiving streets

[00:02:01] That trip him though she holds his arm

[00:02:04] Sometimes he thinks that he's alone and calls her name

[00:02:11] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:02:17] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:02:23] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:02:30] But dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:02:37] Windmills whirl the winter in

[00:02:40] She winds his muffler tighter they sit in the kitchen

[00:02:50] And the tea with whiskey keeps away the dew

[00:02:55] He sees her for a moment calls her name

[00:02:59] She makes his bed up singing some old love song

[00:03:08] She learned it when the tune was very new

[00:03:13] He hums a line or two

[00:03:15] They hum together in the night

[00:03:20] The Dutchman falls asleep and Margaret blows the candle out

[00:03:26] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:03:32] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:03:38] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:03:45] But dear Margaret remembers that for me

[00:03:51] Let us go to the banks of the ocean

[00:03:57] Where the walls rise above the Zuiderzee

[00:04:03] Long ago I used to be a young man

[00:04:09] But dear Margaret remembers that for me
