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
