Old Amsterdam - John Illsley

High on the world, maybe just fate

The Paradiso 1978

Rock and roll with a touch of the blues

It was time to be a line in the news

Nobody knew nobody could know

Red lights offering a different show

Dawned on me how lucky I am

Hanging out in Old Amsterdam

Old Amsterdam

Checking out the queens of the street

Angels we would all like to meet

Coffee houses and a roll of the hand

Getting high was maybe the plan

Power and the glory with the passage of time

It was a beauty of rhythm and rhyme

Watery ways a feast for the eyes

Golden moments no one could deny

Old Amsterdam

Old Amsterdam

Here was the future with a magical face

Something you could never replace

Now I know how lucky I am

Hanging out in old Amsterdam
