Amsterdam Nights (Scheveningen Variation)

Canals left mirroring through the rain, As bikes glide through electric air Each move flows like a midnight train, Through streets where dreamers dance and dare The night is young and so are we, As colors paint the scene This game will set our spirits free, Like nothing you have seen Whenever it lights up a field of four, Move it! Move it! Move it And chaos brings darkness far below, Feel it! Feel it! Feel it Then florist night glides high through three, White night and three, three, dance now When dawn's pawn claims six down low, Black takes six Now dawn steps forth to a field of four, White takes four And as pawns take what light had stored, Black takes four Then dawn's knight reclaims the floor, While florist night claims six with pride Black knight has six Now castles move to fill the field of three, White knight takes six Now brief pantings fill the field of six, Black takes six Amsterdam glows tonight Now ever's bishop finds its way, To field of two through city light White bishop While ever's dark bishop joins the fray, Through seven spaces in the night Black bishop Young ever builds his castle strong, White castles As ravers dance till morning dawn, Through canals Through the rain, play the rain, watch the sea, Break its chain, move it Or florist night might choose to soar, Through field of five with graceful stance White knight And where ever's bishop takes the floor, His moves so sick, so smooth, they dance Black bishop And Gerard builds his wall up high, Black takes six As Amsterdam lights paint the sky Y-T-4 Y-T-4 When ever lights up field of four, Y-T-4 Move it Move it Move it Move it And cast brings darkness five below, Black's B-5 Feel it Feel it Feel it Feel it Then florist knight rides high through three, White knight adds three Three Dance now Dance now Now dawn's pawn takes six down low, Black takes six Now dawn steps forth to field of four, Y-T-4 And his pawns take what knight had stored, Black takes T-4 Then his pawns take white counts to six, Through field of five with grace of fray Black bishop Now dawn's pawns take six down low, Black takes six Now dawn steps forth to field of four, Y-T-4 And his pawns take what knight had stored, Black takes six Now dawn steps forth to field of four, Y-T-4
