Nanci Griffith - Old Hanoi Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Where are all the Satchel Boys
  • Selling books outside the Metripole?
  • Books to read in English
  • Books of light and sorrows
  • Of this foreign land
  • They are gone
  • They've flown away
  • Where are all the cyclos
  • With their drivers pedaling grace?
  • Crowded out by motorbike
  • Confined to lesser space
  • In old Hanoi
  • They grew wings
  • They've flown away
  • (chorus) In the words of Graham Greene
  • Like the Quiet American
  • Searching these sacred streets
  • For old Hanoi
  • In all of these sacred things
  • That I've been blessed in life to see
  • I believe I'm in someone's dream
  • In history
  • Where is the eloquence
  • Of the ladies on their bicycles?
  • Dressed in their au dias
  • In the lotus flowered nights
  • Of Indochine
  • They rode to progress
  • They've flown away
  • (chorus)
  • Old Hanoi…searching for Indochine
  • Old Hanoi…cherchant l' Indochine
  • In old Hanoi
  • In old Hanoi
