Track Insight / Lyrics
A wood boat lost in winter's veil,
Eroded by the city's relentless gale
Fog wraps 'round like a shroud,
As cold winds howl without a crowd
The canal's bridges loom, skeletal
Fractured reflections, a broken melody
Lifeless, abandoned and forlorn
Forgotten dreams, love's echo torn
Once a symphony of laughter,
Whispers, and stolen kisses after dark
Now a haunting melody of abandonment,
Through Amsterdam's empty, fogbound streets
Lost in the fog, adrift and alone
In this watery tomb, my heart is stoned
Time stands still, as I drift away
In search of a place where love could stay
Old cobblestones cold beneath my feet
Each step a memory, betrayal and defeat
Ghosts of summers past, sacraments of love
Now taunting me, like fleeting dove
Shadows dance upon the foggy wall
Reminding me of all that's lost
all that could have been at all
The canal's black depths, a mirror to my pain
Reflecting a love that will not remain
Once a symphony of laughter,
Whispers, and stolen kisses after dark
Now a haunting melody of abandonment,
Through Amsterdam's empty, fogbound streets
Lost in the fog, adrift and alone
In this watery tomb, my heart is stoned
Time stands still, as I drift away
In search of a place where love could stay
Perhaps in the light, a chance to heal
Free from these waters that conceal
A love deserving of the sun's warm sigh
To warm the heart, and let it fly
So I'll row against the current's tide,
Through Amsterdam's fog, I'll take my ride
To find that love, that warmth, that light
And leave this cold dark slow night
In the Amsterdam dawn, a story's told
Of love lost in the fog, and a heart forever cold
