And Quiet Flows the Scheldt

Grey rustic buildings
Divided by cobblestone streets
Pigeons flock on the pavement
Cnadle-lit atmosphere in street side bars
Paul Rubens rises in the hazy air
As the cathedral glows in the night
Flares of cerise and magenta stream
Fading in the starry night sky
Paul Rubens rises in the hazy air
As the cathedral glows in the night

And quiet flows the Scheldt
Dreaming away for a while
Gazing through the morning
Unto the flaming beacon of daylight

With the season, comes autumn
Follow the flowing leaves
Through the winding alleys
Watch them scatter across the square
The fog comes creeping
Clinging in the misty air
Overlooking the harbor
And quiet flows the Scheldt

And quiet flows the Scheldt
Dreaming away for a while
At the going down of the sun
As the stars are known to the night
