Amsterdam Seemed Tired - Ultimate Crumpets (live @ Studio Patrick)

I can see a way here
You could drive around, take a tour
Why and where are you going to this summer?
And if you're leaving
Is there a way, you think
That I could go ahead and call this thing a holiday?

I was thinking
Just thinking
Where all my summers went

It’s about time
About time that I go
And when I’m leaving
I know I must keep waving
Till you come back
Come back
Come back

(lyrics: Rutger Peereboom)

Amsterdam Seemed Tired

Amsterdam seemed tired

This track is a DIY home recording made in fall 2021.

lyrics
I’m a streetlight on your windscreen.
I’m a company, but not of strangers.

It doesn’t suit you, you don’t amaze me.
The world looks weary through a windscreen.
Through a windscreen.

I'm a streetlight

What a waste to be thinking of you
My words simply bleed on the paper
I am no longer counting the hours
Or all the holes that they left

A decade’s worth of illusions
Washing over me

Well I climbed on top of my tent
Well I climbed on top of myself
Well I climbed on top of this land
Hey, can you see me waving?

A decade’s worth of illusions
Washing over me
You just sit and wait
You just sit and wait

No/reply

Was I here?
Such a long day
Where nothing changed, 
Yet nothing stayed the same.

Spring is late 
Never comes on its own
And denim frays have come to stay
Getting fizzy along the way. 

On a step, in a mind, in a hall
In the distance I can see a clearing
I can see them pointing at me, 
I could have crawled there if I tried

If that’s time freewheelin’ down the road,
Then nothing changed and nothing stayed the same
Then nothing changed

Sunny days and gasoline
And one big mess in my dreams
I’ve got a one-off pair of eyes and a wing to fly
Now nobody’s waving and nobody’s home. 

As I thought to myself and out loud
I found it strange that nothing changed
Although I know it never does
And not today…
