5 AM in 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.

Is a bell ringing in my head?

I remember you once said

"It's just a trick of lightning, Chel'

Just tripping over power lines"

I'm living alone now...

It's not clear if the sound I hear

Is just the ringing in my ears

There it is again...

Did you hear that?!

It's 5 a.m. in Amsterdam

and this is how I know

Not by a voice on my portable radio

The batteries are old

It's 5 a.m. in Amsterdam

and this is how I know

Not by a digital watch

I don't even own one

It's 5 a.m. in Amsterdam

and this is how I know

Not by a traveler's clock

It wound down long ago

It's 5 a.m. in Amsterdam

and this is how I know

There's a church beside a park

And it fills the dying dark

With five strokes

There it is again...

Did you hear that?!

Did you hear that
