"I've Been To Holland" lyrics
"I've Been To Holland"
I walked down this brick road
Ignoring the busload
The sleepers are down for the count
And I'll never forget on the day that we met
Last night when we painted the town
We screamed and we ran
Streets of old Amsterdam
Looking for payphones to call
Yeah, but none of our loved ones
Would quite understand
Sometimes we just live for the fall
And I've been to Holland and I've been to New York
And I've seen the Golden Gate Bridge
And I've done the things that my parents have dreamed but I ain't never seen nothing like this
She came to LA from the red Georgia clay and I loved her right from the start
And she took my eye like a thief in the night and I know she's stolen my heart
She knows that I loved her she knows that U missed her I wish she was standing right here
At the end of each day I still lay down and pray for just one chance to see her again
And I've been to Holland and I've been to New York
And I've seen the Golden Gate Bridge
And I've done the things that my parents have dreamed but I ain't never seen nothing like this
And I look to my right as a man on a bike says his sons been hiding two days
And if I missed you more I would head for the door but I can't find the door anyways
I don't speak the language nor all of the anguish that causes me to ask twice
I don't know much but I know that I love the Dutch cause they don't have to try and be nice
And I've been to Holland and I've been to New York
And I've seen the Golden Gate Bridge
And I've done the things that my parents have dreamed but I ain't never seen nothing like this
And I've been to Holland and I've been to New York
And I've seen the Golden Gate Bridge
Oh, and I've done the things that my parents have dreamed but I ain't never seen nothing like this
I ain't never seen nothing like this
Oh, I ain't never
I ain't never
Oh I ain't never
I ain't never
Oh, I ain't never
I ain't never
I ain't never
I ain't never
I ain't never seen nothing like this

Joshua Radin - "Closer" So, we're alone again
I wish it were over
we seem to never end
only get closer
to the point where I can take no more
the clouds in your eyes
down your face they pour
won't you be the new one...
Dan Mangan - "Robots" Oh I don't know what you've been told
But I don't get out much these days
Waking young and feeling old
The days are no longer my own
To piss away the waking hours
But don't, don't don't, don't let...
Ray LaMontagne - "Hold You In My Arms" When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you...
Good Old War - "Coney Island" I found a letter in the mailbox today
And I said, "thank you for your thoughts, but I'm done."
I said that I would never build this up right here
And he said, "that's why I can't work with you son."...
Iron & Wine - "Naked As We Came" She says "wake up, it's no use pretending"
I'll keep stealing, breathing her.
Birds are leaving over autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One...
