Amsterdam Lyrics by John Cale

Vintage Violence

1970

[Verse 1]
She's back from Amsterdam
And I think the journey did her well
Her face has lost its touch
The telltale signs of loneliness inside

[Chorus 1]
But I love her still
And need her company still more
Come down, come down, come down, come down once more
And I think the journey did her well

[Verse 2]
She says she fell in love
With men who knew the way to treat a lady
Her life has settled for the best of things
That I couldn't give her

[Chorus 2]
And it's not her fault
She's not the one to blame
Come down, come down, come down, come down once more
And I do believe the journey did her well

[Refrain]
Yes I do believe the journey did her well
