A sea of tiny sparkling lights Wait patiently to welcome you tonight The sleeping city lingers near While dreamers night walkers and ghosts drift here The clocks dance back and forward as time shifts so recklessly Just dusty grey and neon bright to count for company And the full moon over Amsterdam The full moon over Amsterdam Above the throng of Tokyo A man of clouds stood with arms outstretched Held back the tide and gave my mind some rest How fast adventure you're come and gone And Christmas cheer comes early to a floor of green and red It always seems there's one more flight till you can rest that heavy head But there's a full moon over Amsterdam A full moon over Amsterdam As we arrive in light we end in dark The choking cough of the singing lark Coming back to winter for you love is coming home And we're all travelling travelling travelling But we're not alone, we're not alone There's a full moon over Amsterdam A full moon over Amsterdam
