about

Amsterdam rain, the third single of the Tip Jar album One lifetime, is a bittersweet tribute to a long distance friendship. It's about connecting to and longing for precious people and special places in the world. About feeling at home far from home and being homesick while being at home.
(Photo taken from a video by Paul Lowery of the Llano River, Texas)

lyrics

On the banks of this old river
Sun on my face makes me shiver
Springtime far away from home
Can’t help smiling when I’m here
Everything I love so near
I can feel it in my bones

Don’t blame me
For having everything I’ve ever wanted
Don’t blame me
For finding a place where I feel free, don’t blame me

Wandering down gravel roads
Wildflowers, open windows
The rain is so much sweeter than back home
Beauty everywhere I look
The leap of faith we once took
Trying to find a place to call our own

Don’t blame me
For having everything I ever wanted
Don’t blame me
For finding a place where I feel free, don’t blame me

I’ll be missing you when summer sun washes down on Spain
My heart will grow a little cold
In the Amsterdam rain, the Amsterdam rain

Don’t blame me
For having everything I ever wanted
Don’t blame me
For finding a place where I feel free

I feel free
