John Martyn - Amsterdam lyrics

The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam. The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam. The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam. There was ladies around the casket There was who*es lying on the bed There was some of them in silks and satins There were some of them dressed in red, yeah There were some moving in colours bright And there were two little children there too The wind had changed all concerned And left this violent blue. The night the kid left Amsterdam There was nobody who could understand why The night the kid left Amsterdam There was nobody who could understand why. Sweet sailor, sail through Stay safe, runs true Sweet sailor, steer clear There's nothing but trouble 'round there. The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam There was Mad Jack raving And little tiny long haired Hugh All the hustling boys Are just admiring the view I swear I was crying And I know that you would have been too The wind had changed everyone concerned It just left this violent blue. The night the kid left Amsterdam There was nobody who could understand why The night the kid left Amsterdam There was nobody who could understand why. Sweet sailor, steer through Stay safe, runs true Sweet sailor, steer clear Nothing but trouble round here. The last time that I saw him He was looking fresh feeling fine I'd have known if my boy was drowning I'd have thrown that kid a line You never find me looking around the city no more like I did before All that love lying wasted, just scattered across the floor. The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam There was nobody who could understand why The night the kid left Amsterdam. Nobody could understand why The night the kid left Amsterdam The night the kid left Amsterdam. The night the kid left Amsterdam
