Down by the muddy harbor
For many a restless night
Have I been walking
Down by the muddy harbor
For many a restless night
Have I found myself talking
And much to my surprise
I found that `ve been wrong for so long now
I found that I`ve been wrong
I found that I`ve been wrong for so long now
I`ve been to New York City
I`ve seen the world at large and it`s hurting
It took a lot of pain to get me where I am
That`s for certain
I`ve felt the arms of God
And I`ve felt the Devil`s kisses
In the Nighttime
I thought I`d seen it all
Just to watch it fall like curtains
Just to watch it come down to this
I`m Amsterdam stranded
And it`s taken for granted that I`m singing
But one of these days
I will be leaving
I`ve got leaving on my mind
Gonna leave it all behind
That`s for certain
I`m tired of waisting time
Chasing this high
Oh, sweet burden...
