about

Laid back, lounge feel, bossa nova with a slight Americana feel.

lyrics

It was a Friday night in the month of may
You wanted the moon, and just couldn’t wait
You climbed so high, could have had it all
But you couldn’t hold on, you started to fall

Somewhere, somewhere you got lost
Did you ever stop to count the cost?

Gabriel come blow your horn
Under the street light at four in the morning
The working girls in the windows are calling
It's a cold night in Amsterdam

The girls in the lobby they waited a while
But you never returned with your crooked smile
The blue lights and jazz, the cold, broken night
And they prayed for your soul and cried 'till daylight

Somewhere, somewhere you got lost
Did you ever stop to count the cost?

Gabriel come blow your horn
Under the street light at four in the morning
The working girls in the windows are calling
It's a cold night in Amsterdam

And you told them not to have pity on you
You’re not their little boy blue
Just a junkie with a horn
Another gig, another score

Deep in a dream, you stepped into the dark
Trying to catch that final spark
A little beauty for all that pain

Show’s over, time to take your bow
The thrill is gone, you’re with the angels now

Gabriel come blow your horn
Under the street light at four in the morning
The working girls in the windows are calling
It's a cold night in Amsterdam
