Living In A Love Town

Sick and lonely to a man

Cutting through the Zuider See

Limping in to Amsterdam

Battle weary and fatigued

Docking on Saint Stephen's Eve

As four and twenty hours of foreign leave

Came into sight

Saw the city shining bright

A beacon in this flooded countryside

We'll spend the night...

Living in a love town

We were hungry to a man

Living in a love town

In the heart of Amsterdam

Boys and women on the quay

Broken english in the street

Cold and famine sweeping south

Such a welcome still we meet

After half a year at sea

The cobblestones and snow beneath our feet

Were soft and sweet

Castaways from far and wide

Wrecked together in this town tonight

On every side...

Living in a love town... we were hungry to a man

Living in a love town... in the heart of Amsterdam

Living in a love town... as the carnival began

Living in a love town...

After half a year at sea

The cobblestones and snow beneath our feet

Were soft and sweet

Saw the city shining bright

A beacon in this flooded countryside

We'll spend the night

Cast away from far and wide

Wrecked together in this town tonight

On every side...

Living in a love town... we were hungry to a man

Living in a love town... in the heart of Amsterdam

Living in a love town... as the carnival began

Living in a love town...
