In front of me
With cafe' au lait
And some kind of cookie
Outside the window
There's a wide and gentle canal
Two swans swim in it,
In their mirror images
They must be in love.
The handsome holland people
Ride ecological bikes
Or sometimes their dogs
Might take them along for a hike,
I stood by the tall ships
And stepped in some old dutch dog shit,
It began to rain
A strange enchanted mist
And I love the cookies here
I could live forever here
With you.
In holland there is a table In front of me With cafe' au lait And some kind of cookie Outside the window There's a wide and gentle canal Two swans swim in it, In their mirror images They must be in love. The handsome holland people Ride ecological bikes Or sometimes their dogs Might take them along for a hike, I stood by the tall ships And stepped in some old dutch dog shit, It began to rain A strange enchanted mist And I love the cookies here I could live forever here With you.
