lyrics

Let’s go down to New Netherland
And watch the pigeons play
On top of grand old statues
That don’t have much to say

And back in New Netherland
In old “New Amsterdam”
Where the poets are ever lonely
There are too many of them

In the game of love I’m the New York Rangers;
Only without Marc Messier
I’ve got no control
Over this puck, which I am told
Is your heart
As I skate on yet thinner ice

I heard that in New Netherland
You live life in a dream
Which is why, oh dear of dears,
You never need say sorry to me

But in bars in New Netherland
I can’t even drink
Not when I thirst for you, dear
And when I thirst to be

Somebody other than who I am
Somebody who is not the same
As all those broken kids,
Leaving skid-marks on the road
“It’s not your fault”
As I am so often told

In the valley of darkness, you are my shepherd dear
And so evil I shall not be afraid of
Your faith, it was my sword,
Now my sadness it hardly thwarts
Still, you left me only the other day
Still, you left me only the other day
