Fimone - Amsterdam Lyrics

I've been to the pit where the devil lives
And I crawled my way out
I blamed everybody 'cept for myself
And then I learned to ask for help
That was the start
Then a nice man in a clean white jacket
Gave me a couple pills
But I knew damn well that they weren't gonna cure
My troubles or my ills
But lord I tried
I was sitting on a stool in Amsterdam
Across the bar from a dark haired man
Knowing damn well that it wasn't you
And only I was gonna see this through
When I started drinking again
It's a long walk
To the river
But you know when you gotta go
Yea you know that you know
When you gotta go
It's a long walk
To the river
But you know when you gotta go
Yea you know that you know
When you gotta go
I've been waiting here for you
I've been waiting here for you
He was sitting cross legged in the middle of the alley
With everything he owned
The door was locked and the note said
He can't live here anymore
And that was the start
Then his sister found a needle that was tucked away
In a downstairs room where she let him stay
She never said a word she was too afraid
Just too young to know what to say
Oh lord, lord they tried
It's a long walk
To the river
But you know when you gotta go
Yea you know that you know
When you gotta go
It's a long walk
To the river
But you know when you gotta go
Yea you know that you know
When you gotta go
I've been waiting here for you
I've been waiting here for you
I've been waiting here for you
Now the river doesn't have to be a sacred place
No it's not for a chosen few
Sometimes you gotta forgive yourself
Before you can forgive anybody else
It's a long walk
To the river
But you know when you gotta go
Yea you know that you know
When you gotta go
It's a long walk
To the river
But you know when you gotta go
Yea you know that you know
When you gotta go
I've been waiting here for you
I've been waiting here for you
I've been waiting here for you
I've been waiting here for you
