Track Insight / Lyrics
Canal bridge looming in the mist
Footsteps echoing in the cold dark night
Fading city lights, my heart keeps racing on
You slipped away, I'm left to wonder why
I pedaled through the Amsterdam streets
In the crispness of a winter's breeze
Built up speed, trying to escape
The ghosts that haunted me with their pleas
For you, for us, for the life we knew
But now it's just the hollow silence through
The pitter-patter rain upon the tiled ground
As I pedal on, alone in the Amsterdam town
Shadows fade, but the memories remain
Of hard-won love, and a love in vain
I'll chase the dawn, ride through the night
Trying to outrun your memory's tight grip
In the blackness of the canal's curve
I let my mind wander, time to learn
To let go of what could have been
And focus on the road, the rhythm of my machine
For you, for us, for the life we knew
But now it's just the hollow silence through
The pitter-patter rain upon the tiled ground
As I pedal on, alone in the Amsterdam town
Shadows fade, but the memories remain
Of hard-won love, and a love in vain
I'll chase the dawn, ride through the night
Trying to outrun your memory's tight grip
Maybe time will heal these wounds deep inside
And maybe someday I'll find the strength to hide
The ghosts of you, the echoes of our past
Beneath the present, and the future at last
Shadows fade, but the memories remain
Of hard-won love, and a love in vain
I'll chase the dawn, ride through the night
Trying to outrun your memory's tight grip
The city wakes, the lights come on
As I pedal home, the night soon gone
And in the fog, the bridge's shadow too
Will fade away, as only memories can do
