Ilse Delange – New Amsterdam lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were busy closing down
The only open bar we found
The lights went out and they kicked us out
You kissed me on a corner in China Town
[Verse 2]
We got saved by a gypsy cab
And that bottle of Johnnie Red you had
Your hair messed up and your shoes untied
I watched you sleeping in the morning light
[Chorus 1]
Now a different sun is sinking in the west
Now a different heart is beating in my chest
And I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
[Verse 3]
Down by the bridge on the lower east side
Watching as the river goes rolling by
Did you lose me? Did I lose you?
Suppose it all depends on your point of view
[Chorus 2]
All these downtown streets still look the same
I guess it ain't the bricks and stones that change
And I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
Yeah, I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
We were busy closing down
The only open bar we found
The lights went out and they kicked us out
You kissed me on a corner in China Town
[Verse 2]
We got saved by a gypsy cab
And that bottle of Johnnie Red you had
Your hair messed up and your shoes untied
I watched you sleeping in the morning light
[Chorus 1]
Now a different sun is sinking in the west
Now a different heart is beating in my chest
And I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
[Verse 3]
Down by the bridge on the lower east side
Watching as the river goes rolling by
Did you lose me? Did I lose you?
Suppose it all depends on your point of view
[Chorus 2]
All these downtown streets still look the same
I guess it ain't the bricks and stones that change
And I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
Yeah, I tried and tried, and tried again
But I can't get back to New Amsterdam
