Lyrics
Sonja
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.
De wals met Henk was wild
De wals met Henk was woest en wild
Hij sleurde haar mee, over de vloer
Als betrof het goederenvervoer
Zijn toon was zo gevat
Hij sprak met haar van dit en dat
Maar toen hij het vroeg
Verbleekte ze wat:
"Henk
Vind je 't goed dat ik er even
Over denk?"
Sonja gaat de trap op
Trippelend de trap op
't Overloopje over
Naar de deur, daar achteraan
Sonja is weer thuis
Steekt 'n sigaret op
De klok hoort ze slaan
Half twaalf
Dan gaat ze languit liggen
Op haar canape
En na een uurtje denken
Diep, diep denken
Komt ze met een glimlach
De loper afgegleden
Zesendertig treden
En helemaal beneden
Zegt ze: "Nee"
Want ergens in haar achterhoofd
Hoopt Sonja op de prins
Die aan zal komen rijden
Van daarginds...
Die vanaf zijn schimmel
Haar zal wenken
En haar geen tijd geeft om te denken
