On A Tuesday In Amsterdam Long Ago Lyrics
by Counting Crows
A picture of Amsterdam
Bare trees under glass
Framed in the grey and white afternoon light
Of a winter long past
When I was a raiser
To Dublin I'd roam
She was a bareback rider
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e75084-counting_crows~on_a_tuesday_in_amsterdam_long_ago_lyrics.html ]
Some miles from home
Come back to me
She's a carnival diver
Hung in the sky
Cutting through time like a memory
Strung on a wire
The color of anything
Fades in the air
But she is the film of a book of the story
Of the smell of her hair
Come back to me
When every thing's over
Every thing's clear
Everyone's older
No one is here
I try to remember
A girl on a wire
Tumbling and diving above Stephen's Green
Like a kite on the air
Come back to me
