lyrics

the year was still a young one when I heard the banshees howl
been racing with the dead eyed dogs
on the edge of the big void
into the heart of darkness next to the big void

been fed with love and beer and booze
queer city angels took my blues
downed it in one gulp made sure
it never would appear
never would appear

while Europe's busy going bust
and rock'n'roll still takes its toll
while there's all that talk of gloom and doom
them Tuesday lilies won't
ever stop to bloom

now who of you will come with me
walk out on the ledge and gaze
into the velvet April sky
and please play
"Port Of Amsterdam" for me
you'll see a teardrop in my eye
I'll feel light as feather, ready for to fly
light as a feather I would fly

row your surfboard up the bus lane
on that Boulevard Vauban
past the radio station that played Harbour Town
they would change your name to "a droit"
get you high on Picon Biere
felt lost out on the highway now it feels as I've been found
lost myself out there but I've been found

now who of you will join me
on my walk out on the ledge
to gaze into the velvet April sky
when they play
"Port Of Amsterdam" for me
and make me lose myself and cry
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fly
light as feather I would fly
