lyrics

And the teahouse is blue
in the Vondel Park
with the chestnuts in view
Practising my art
Finding words that ring true
Dreaming of Vermeer
and his light shining through
in my pale Dutch beer –

Dreaming of Vermeer
Amsterdam in April
and canals with water flowing
Red-brick houses built for showing
Only going where I’m going
in the sea-wind blowing

And the bird-lake is green
in the Vondel Park
where the herons convene
Feeling light at heart
I am sketching the scene
Dreaming of Vermeer
and his blue light serene
Happy that I’m here

At the Rijksmuseum
and Vermeer is on the right there
so you really can’t go wrong
Just turn on the ‘lectric light there
and his light just turns you on
