Ian Hunter - China Lyrics
(ian hunter)(transcribed by colin fordChina, china, the evenings moving inSee you, soon now, the boat moves with the windChina, china, I can see the harbour lightsLight your, fire, well be warm tonightChina, china, the thoughts drift from the seaIm dreaming, of you, wear your dress for meChina, china, the oceans on the wheel(? )The seagulls flying lower nowChina I can feel you by my sideAcross the bay, across the tyneCan you hear me sayChina, china, wear your hair down lowLady, lady, youre frozen to the boneChina, china, the catch was good todayThe oilskins clinging to my backAnd the lantern gently swaysOh dont you cry, the kids to bedDidnt mean the things I saidChina, china, the years go rolling byLaughter, sorrow, I will not make you cryChina, china, think before you speakAlways remember the ocean hauls as deepAnd if Im tired of feeling lowDont let me sleep, you knowChina, china, the men are on the quayDrinking, smoking, talking quietlyThe waters calmer nowAll my work is doneSo china, see ya.
