Amsterdam

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Je kan er boeken kopen

die je hier heel zelden vindt

Je kan er langs de grachten lopen,

je haar los in de wind

Je kan er uren slijten,

de parken zijn er groen

Je kan er naar Van Gogh gaan kijken,

dat zou je eigenlijk wel eens moeten doen

Je bent vogelvrij, omdat er alles kan

Zo dichtbij en toch zover is Amsterdam

Want daar in Amsterdam, ben jij zo ver van mij

Toch voel ik Amsterdam zo pijnlijk dicht nabij.

In het Concertgebouw

is het zeer dikwijls feest

Je weet toch nog

dat zelfs Randy Newman daar eens is geweest

Wie van ons vermoedde toen

dat jij daar nu heel alleen

een toevlucht hebt gezocht

We gingen er altijd samen heen

Wie van ons is vogelvrij?

Wie van ons die nog alles kan?

zo dichtbij en toch zover is Amsterdam
