Windmills
Passing time counting windmills
Through the windows of the train
Like etchings scratched on the horizon
Waiting for the wind to rise again
Perhaps they have no further purpose
Relics left here from a bygone age
Their sails are still no longer turning
Now the world has turned another page
We made our journey through the lowlands of Holland
We looked for windmills through the windows in the rain
Passing time in the lowlands of Holland
Waiting for the wind to rise again
I remember the day we strolled together
Along the old canals without a care
And in the streets the sound of celebrations
Carried to us on the evening air
When daylight came it felt too soon for leaving
The sunshine took us by surprise
But as we stepped out in the early morning
The wind blew dust into our eyes
Another day like any other day
The world outside looks much the same
But in the town strange news flies up and down
And no one can be sure from where it came
Now the streets are strangely silent
We turn our heads and go our separate ways
Behind closed doors we keep our distance
And count the steady passing of the days
We made our journey through the lowlands of Holland
We looked for windmills through the windows in the rain
Passing time in the lowlands of Holland
Waiting for the wind to rise again
