There I was in Amsterdam Sitting by the canal with my feet wet Sending you messages you won't have read yet You still had the second half of your dream left It's all cyclists and metromaps A maze of multicoloured tracks It was an 8 hour drive I couldn't get you out of my mind I saw three countries pass by I was so wide eyed I sent you a postcard from Zurich From a side street gift shop I bought it on my day off Couldn't tell you where the picture on the front was It's all blue sky and mountainside Bet it looks twice as good in real life It was an 8 hour drive I couldn't get you out of my mind I saw three countries pass by I was so wide eyed How I miss it when I'm looking back With my hindsight eyes A million cars out on the track A million racing lights They're all talking to me now It was an 8 hour drive I couldn't get you out of my mind I saw three countries pass by I was so wide eyed
