lyrics

ik loop langs witte singels
niemand anders hier vannacht
een kat vlucht gauw naar binnen
stilte aan de Nieuwegracht

achter de Sint Pieter
vroeger scheen hier ooit de zon
nu krijg ik stenen voeten
duik diep in m'n capuchon

ik ga nu door de Voorstraat
de bioscoop is al op zwart
het loopt al tegen 2en
vol verwachting klopt mijn hart

van het rode schijnsel
in de Hardebollenstraat
is het maar een stukje
naar de Lange Lauwerstraat

winterkou of sneeuw of ijzel
houden mij niet in bedwang
al vriest het 40 graden
ik miste jou al veel te lang

zou ze nog wel op zijn
zou ze slapen als een roos
als ik zo laat aanbel
wordt ze blij of wordt ze boos

ik zie nog lampen branden
in mijn hart begint het feest
daar staat zij al te lachen
mijn reis is niet voor niets geweest

winterkou of sneeuw of ijzel
houden mij niet in bedwang
al vriest het 40 graden
ik miste jou al veel te lang
