I came into this city on a cold winter's morn
Needing human comfort just to move along
I sang and played the music as in many towns before
Here I sang my heart out, you gave me so much more
Reminding me to live and love life with a smile
And all of my frustrations became worthwhile

In Groningen, in Groningen
When it was covered in snow
In Groningen, in Groningen
You had so many beauties I will never know
But your peace and your wisdom helping me grow

I came into this city on a cold winter's morn
Sang here every evening and I played to every dawn
The woman I met in the cafe touched me in the dark
Beloved through the morning and beloved in my heart

In Groningen, in Groningen
When it was covered in snow
In Groningen, in Groningen
You had so many beauties I will never know
But your peace and your wisdom helping me grow
