VOLUME THREE
We again found ourselves at the mercy of some cheap plane tickets. Flew WOW Air (which has since gone belly up if that tells you anything) through Reykjavik and they landed in what, to my Ohio born eyes, looked to be a snow storm. It was very impressive. Safely off of the train from the airport in Amsterdam we walked to our hotel. I remember seeing my breath very very well. We got in early and were rolling our carry-ons along the streets. It felt like it was one of the loudest noises I've ever made. Amsterdam doesn't wake up early and the streets were not busy so it was fine but I distinctly remember it, which is why I picked it up and carried it the rest of the way haha.
We drank beer and ate these amazing cookies from Van Stapele holy smokes those were good. I would go back just to get those cookies. I had bitterballen for the first time. Big fan. People were kind, yet direct and everyone spoke far more English than I spoke Dutch, which was good for us. We stayed warm together and explored the many canal lined streets. Amsterdam is a beautiful city. Would recommend.
LYRICS
Cold is the air
Your breath slowly drifts in waves
Coats buttoned tight
We stroll under skies of grey
The water softly clutching
The narrow towering homes
Your hand inside my pocket
Past bicycles and boats
Amsterdam
We're floating side by side
Amsterdam
What lovely state of mind
It feels right here next to you
As we fake our way right through
The freedom and the folly of
Amsterdam
I followed you
To the hotel window
Pulled you in tight
Watched the night down below
They're walking on water
A rose colored glow
It flickers with the street lights
As they live a life untold
Just know that I'm right here
If you get cold cold
Amsterdam
We're floating side by side
Amsterdam
What lovely state of mind
It feels right here next to you
As we fake our way right through
The freedom and the folly of
Amsterdam
Just know that I'm right here if you get cold
Doesn't matter where it is I will be close
No matter where we find ourselves I'm yours
Just know that I'm right here if you get cold cold cold
Amsterdam
We're floating side by side
Amsterdam
What lovely state of mind
It feels right here next to you
As we fake our way right through
The freedom and the folly of
This city we know little of
The beauty and the boldness of
Amsterdam
The beauty and the boldness of
Amsterdam
