A road, all covered in dust I'm picking up the pieces The cracking ground releases Dark coats under darker skies Then something cold underneath my eyes There is nothing as pure as the air that I breathe Nothing as secure as the ground beneath my feet I know there's something much bigger and worse than my pain But nothing as beautiful As Amsterdam in the rain A shift, a puzzle I can't solve The outward pressure increases While inside is where the peace is A gaze of an unfamiliar face And every little thing falls directly into place There is nothing as pure as the air that I breathe Nothing as secure as the ground beneath my feet I know there's something much bigger and worse than my pain And hardly anything as beautiful As Amsterdam in the rain There is nothing as pure Nothing as secure As the reflection I'm seeing in the window of this train Maybe there's something as beautiful As Amsterdam in the rain
