On A Tuesday In Amsterdam Long Ago

[Verse 1] A picture of Amsterdam Bare trees under glass Framed in the gray and white afternoon light Of a winter long past When I was a riser To Dublin I'd roam She was a bareback rider Some miles from home [Chorus] Come back to me Come back to me Come back to me Come back to me [Verse 2] She's a carnival driver Hung in the sky Cutting through time like a memory Strung on a wire The color of anything Fades in the air She is the film of a book of the story Of the smell of her hair [Chorus] [Verse 3] When everything's over Everything's clear Everyone's older And no one is here I try to remember A girl on a wire Tumbling and diving above Stephen's Green Like a kite on the air [Chorus][x2] [Outro] Come back to me Come back to me
