Over Amsterdam

A new song, hot off the presses, recorded live in concert just a little more than 24 hours ago, as of this posting. Video of this same performance at YouTube and Vimeo.

Good lyric - particularly "she played me like a card". And, of course, your ever impressively gymnastic vocal! Good stuff.

OVER AMSTERDAM
i got off the train
stepped out of central station
i'd made it to that little brick city
my eager destination
and as i walked those magic little streets
for the very first time
i thought i could take this city
and make it mine
a pale grey sun was shining behind the clouds
over amsterdam
she was just pretending
ah but i fell in love so hard
i was young and foolish
she played me like a card
i still remember waiting on her doorstep
i waited there all night
some junkies were mumbling in the alley
i waited 'til the morning light
a pale grey sun was rising behind the clouds
over amsterdam
how many years have passed since then
brother don't make me count
however you want to add it up
it's the wrong amount
you ask me would i go back there
now what would i go back for
wouldn't wanna ride that little trolley
that rolls right past her door
or see that pale grey moon
hanging behind the clouds
over amsterdam
