Amsterdam

In the rain in Amsterdam I thought I saw you In a window looking back Over your shoulder In the rain in Amsterdam I was writing to you On a postcard I never bothered to send There were doves Circling above me And tulips all around What were you trying to tell me? I could not make it out. In the rain in Amsterdam I thought I caught you Bent over the canals Gazing at your own reflection In the rain in Amsterdam I saw little of the city Only water, so much water Falling in a veil around me Who's to say how long 'Til this rain is done?
