En Morgen I Amsterdam - Lars Lilholt, Lars Lilholt Band, Oh Land

Jeg så dig en morgen i Amsterdam

Foran en husbåd, en algegrøn pram

Skyggerne flakked', du bad om ild

Gådefuld, lattermild, farlig og vild

Og en blå mandolin fra en gul coffee-shop

Spilled' blues, da solen stod op

Der er et sekund, hvor alting ka' ske

Hvor tiden står stille, og vi skifter ham

Der' altid en bøn, en bøn man ka' be'

Den bad jeg den morgen i Amsterdam

Jeg bad om dit hjerte, bad om et hvæs

Bad om en sang, der ku' synge mig hæs

Bad om en stjernenat af Van Gogh

Vidste, af dig ka' jeg aldrig få nok

Og i min erindring om fremtiden står

Du' her stadig og sætter dit hår

Der er et sekund, hvor alting ka' ske

Hvor tiden står stille, og vi skifter ham

Der' altid en bøn, en bøn man ka' be'

Den bad jeg den morgen i Amsterdam

Der' altid en bøn, en bøn man ka' be'

Den bad jeg den morgen i Amsterdam

I saw you one morning in Amsterdam

In front of a houseboat, an algae green barge

The shadows flickered ', you asked for fire

Enigmatic, humorous, dangerous and wild

And a blue mandolin from a yellow coffee shop

Spilled 'blues as the sun rose

There is a second where everything can happen

Where time stands still and we change him

There's always a prayer, a prayer you can pray

I asked for it that morning in Amsterdam

I asked for your heart, asked for a hiss

Asked for a song that could sing me hoarse

Asked for a starry night by Van Gogh

I knew I could never get enough of you

And in my memory of the future stands

You're still here and putting on your hair

There is a second where everything can happen

Where time stands still and we change him

There's always a prayer, a prayer you can pray

I asked for it that morning in Amsterdam

There's always a prayer, a prayer you can pray

I asked for it that morning in Amsterdam
