The windmill at Geldrop

Netherlands

Turn ye sails like hands of steel,
Like women spinning the roulette wheel,
But to this man there is no "deal"
Standing at the windmill at Geldrop.

Once so many now so few
Producing flour for me and you,
Exchanging seed the way old friends do,
Standing at the windmill at Geldrop.

100 years 12 tons of stone,
Stands majestic like a throne,
Just like me, always alone,
Standing at the windmill at Geldrop

A testament to life and Time
a lonely soldier say he's fine
but losing blood into the Rhine
Standing at the Windmill at Geldrop
