Amsterdam Lyrics - Joan Baez

(written by Janis Ian and Buddy Mondlock) 

Just the pattern of sunlight on a building 

Just a flash in a window I was passing 

Just a frame in a movie I remembered 

Amsterdam 

Just the sound of a wheel in the gravel 

Just the click of a heel on the pavement 

Just a moment like any other moment 

Amsterdam 

I remember your lips, I remember your eyes 

And the taste of the kiss and your graceful goodbye 

You lied 

Goodbye 

Just the scent of perfume on the linen 

Just the print of a palm on the pillow 

Just the hint of the moon through the window 

Amsterdam 

Just a ghost in the steam on the mirror 

Just a shadow of motion in the water 

Just a need to look over my shoulder 

Amsterdam 

I remember your lips, I remember your eyes 

And the taste of the kiss and your graceful goodbye 

You lied 

Goodbye 

Just two lovers asleep in the silence as I watched from the door 

Just the weight of a heart as it's falling, nothing more 

I remember your lips, I remember your eyes 

And the taste of the kiss and your graceful goodbye 

You lied 

Goodbye
