(Hofstede/Kloet/Stips - Hofstede) I was born in the valley of bricks Where the river runs high above the rooftops I was waiting for the cars coming home late at night From the Dutch mountains I was standing in the valley of rock Up to my belly in an early fog I was looking for the road to a green painted house In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains Mountains I met a woman in the valley of stone She was painting roses on the walls of her home And the moon is a coin with the head of the queen
Of the Dutch mountains Mountains I lost a bu*ton of my shirt today It fell on the ground And it was rolling away Like a trail leading me back To the Dutch mountains To the Dutch mountains Mountains I met a miller on the back of a cow He was looking for the wind but he didn't know how I said: Follow the cloud that looks like a sheep In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains In the Dutch mountains Mountains Mountains Buildings
