Lyrics

[00:02.92] Madalena
[00:03.50]
[00:25.44] Walking through the streets of Amsterdam
[00:31.90] Half a pack of kreteks in my hand
[00:37.83] The rain smells like a woman
[00:40.88] That I knew long ago
[00:43.81] And I hope she’s happy
[00:46.00] Hope she’s doin’ grand
[00:49.04]
[01:14.49] The cyclones never seem to get this far
[01:20.07] They die out off the shores of Zanzibar
[01:26.06] And at night I watch the storm clouds
[01:30.63] Lighting up the sea
[01:33.69] And I wonder if she ever thinks of me
[01:35.87]
[01:38.28] Madalena
[01:40.52] There’s something in the way you held me
[01:49.97] But there’s not much left
[01:54.22] To hold onto anymore
[01:56.46]
[02:26.53] I’m older now
[02:28.48] My hair is turning gray
[02:32.51] A fixture at this crumbling café
[02:37.94] And I’m haunted by the memories
[02:40.59] Of the man I used to be
[02:43.64] ‘Cause he took your love
[02:46.15] And threw it all away
[02:48.72]
[02:49.97] And Madalena
[02:52.82] There’s something in the way you held me
[03:01.32] But there’s not much left
[03:04.16] To hold onto anymore
[03:08.15]
[03:13.70] Madalena
[03:16.57] There’s something in the way you held me
[03:24.52] But there’s not much left
[03:28.50] To hold onto anymore
[03:32.92]
