5 A.M. in Amsterdam Lyrics


It's 5 a.m. in Amsterdam
And this is how I know
Not by the voice on my portable radio
The batteries are oldIt's 5 a.m. in Amsterdam
And this is how I know
Not by a digital watch
I don't even own oneIt's 5 a.m. in Amsterdam
And this is how I know
Not by a traveler's clock
It wound down long agoIs a bell ringing in my head?
I remember you once said
"It's just a trick of lightning, Michelle
Tripping over power lines"
I'm living alone nowIt's 5 a.m. in Amsterdam
And this is how I know
There's a church beside a park
And it fills the dying darkWith five strokes
There it is again

Did you hear that?
Did you hear that?
Did you hear that?

Michelle Shocked (born Dallas, Texas, February, 1962) is the stage name of Michelle Karen Johnston, an American singer-songwriter. As a young feminist, she left Texas to travel, Kerouac-style, and was caught up in Reagan-era grassroots politics. Her musical career was ignited by a bootleg recording made around a Kerrville Folk Festival campfire on a Sony walkman. Released in England as ‘The Texas Campfire Tapes’ without Shocked’s authority, its success abroad enticed Mercury Records to offer the newcomer a recording contract.
