Grey rustic buildings Divided by cobblestone streets Pigeons flock on the pavement Candle-lit atmosphere in street side bars Paul Rubens rises in the hazy air As the cathedral glows in the night Flares of cerise and magenta stream Fading in the starry night sky Paul Rubens rises in the hazy air As the cathedral glows in the night And quiet flows the Scheldt Dreaming away for a while Gazing through the morning Unto the flaming beacon of daylight With the season, comes autumn Follow the flowing leaves Through the winding alleys Watch them scatter across the square The fog comes creeping Clinging in the misty air Overlooking the harbor And quiet flows the Scheldt And quiet flows the Scheldt Dreaming away for a while At the going down of the sun As the stars are known to the night
