Baez, Joan - Amsterdam Lyrics






Just the pattern of sunlight on a building,
Just a flash in a window I was passing,
Just a frame in a movie I remember,
Amsterdam.
Just the sound of a wheel in the gravel,
Just the click of a heel in the pavement,
Just a moment like any other moment,
Amsterdam.

I remember your lips.
I remember your eyes,
And the taste of the kiss,
And your graceful goodbye.
You lied. Goodbye.

Just the scent of perfume on the linen,
Just the print of a palm on the pillow,
Just the hint of the moon from the window,
Amsterdam.
Just a ghost in the steam on the mirror,
Just a shadow of motion in the water,
Just a need to look over my shoulder,
Amsterdam.

I remember your lips.
I remember your eyes,
And the taste of the kiss,
And your graceful goodbye.
You lied. Goodbye.

Just two lovers asleep in the silence,
As I walk from the door.
Just the weight of a heart as it's falling,
Nothing more.

I remember your lips.
I remember your eyes,
And the taste of the kiss,
And your graceful goodbye.
You lied. Goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Goodbye.

    The photo used for this video is anachronistic, this song was recorded in 92 and released thru the "Play me backwards" album of Joan Baez... As a cousin said: respect died with the Internet.

    What a joy! The Folk Singer Queen, who was and is much, much more than "only" this. She is all a uttermost talent can be. And not "only " as a singer, but as a gifted player, a magnificent composer, a brilliant poet, an unshakable ativist on ORGANIZED LOVE, as she name the peace movement, and lately a painter frantically involved on criation of pieces of art. I´m happy and with my heart filled with gratitude for being one of her millions of admirers. Amor e Gratidão, sempre.

    @leiposuctie Lieve hemel..I lived with You Netherland ppl for 7 years and i just loved to visit Amsterdam every chance i got, and yes its just like any major city with its problems, but id still would move to Amsterdam if i had a chance.

  14. R.... v....

    @nio2005i what are you talking about? freedom, ideals, beautifull? people piss on the street, most dutch people are very racist, we're also lazy, we love to complain, also, your dream of being part of holland? forget it, we only take in VIPs, we don't even take in refugees anymore, which is very classy of us since the whole ww2 thing, where we also ratted out a bunch of jewish people, it's not a coincedence that anne frank was caught...amsterdam=any other shitty city

  15. R.... v....

    i've been born and raised in amsterdam, it's just as shitty as anywhere else. yes, we have a lot of freedoms, but there isn't that much to do, for you tourists it's wonderfull ofcourse, but ever had a tourist come to your hometown? i have no idea why you people are so excited about amsterdam, besides being able to smoke weed and take mushrooms....at least we're not french....

  16. S.... M....

    Awesome!

  17. J.... ....

    i was there last year wish i was still there
