Joel Havea Trio - Haarlems Not Far Away Lyrics

Rain is falling down in Amsterdam
It's getting heavy and I'm ready to go face it like a man
But if it gets too wet
Haarlem's not far away

Body's aching and I'm moving slow
It takes a while to hit the rhythm that I'm sure I used to know
But if I can't catch up
Haarlem's not far away

Not so long to go
Destination still the same
No matter what the train

Though I've never been
Haarlem speaks to me
Though I'm aware that it's a figment of imagination
Everyone needs a Haarlem sometimes

Sun is beating down in Rotterdam
It's getting sweaty and I'm ready to go watch it like a fan
But if it gets too hot
Haarlem's not far away

Haarlem is right there within my reach
Kinda like a little trump card that is always there, just in case I need
Till then I can just say
Haarlem's not far away

Not so long to go
Destination still the same
No matter what the train
No matter what the plane
It isn't gonna change

Sometimes...
Haarlem's not far away
Any time or day
So when the sky is grey
Haarlem's not far away
