Amsterdam Lyrics by The Convent

1993

[Verse 1]
I remember this city, it was years ago
Yelling children and a school bell ringing
Colourful thoughts from eight to four
And the time
Yeah the time was slipping away

Amsterdam another dark city
Where heroin-faces still hanging around
And all those years I spend a lifetime but still
I can't understand
Hey sometimes I miss you

[Chorus]
Down down to the place I used to live
And where I come from
Far far, far away
From the place I used to stay
Is where the heart is, and where the love lives
(Is where the heart is, and where the love lives)

[Verse 2]
All these tourist-boats, strangers at night
Walked down the street with the red light so bright
And then they observed the left and the right
Hiding their faces like thieves in the night

Amsterdam dark grey and cold
I remember exactly what my teacher once told
These words are banging like a hammer in my head
(Home is where the heart is)
Hey, what's a heart without a home?

[Chorus]
Down down to the place I used to live
And where I come from
Far far, far away
From the place I used to stay
Is where the heart is, and where the love lives
(Is where the heart is, and where the love lives)

[Outro]
Down down to the place I used to live
Far far, far away
Is where the heart the heart is, and where the love lives
(Is where the heart is, and where the love lives)
