Brugwachter in Manhattan

Tussen Breugel en Nederwetten
Ligt 'n slapend kanaal
En de 'Ora et Labora'
Trekt een spoor door dit verhaal
En de brugwachter sloft naar buiten
Met z'n kop in z'n kraag
Groet de schipper
Zet de knipperlichten uit voor vandaag
Ik word wakker in Manhattan
In de 30e Straat
Is 't drie uur in de nacht, of 17.08
't Is hier altijd vroeg en laat
Zie me lopen over 5th Avenue
Alsof ik nooit iets anders doe
Tussen taxi's en sirenes
Mensen om me heen
Deze stad is nooit moe
Wat hoort er 't meest bij mij
Haast, of seizoenen
Wie heb ik er 't liefste bij
Niemand, of miljoenen
Maar waar ik alles voor opzij wil zetten
Brugwachter zijn in Manhattan
