China Songtext
von Mick Ronson

China, China
The evening′s moving in
See you soon now
The boat moves with the wind
China, China
I can see the harbour lights
Light your fire
We'll be warm tonight

China, China
My thoughts stray from the sea
I′m dreaming of you
Wear your dress for me
But China, China
The rain shines on the wheel
The seagulls fly in lower now
China, I can feel you by my side

Across the bay
Across the tide
Can you hear me say?


China, China
Wear your hair down low
Lady, lady
We're frozen to the bone
China, China
The catch was good today
The oilskins clinging to my back
And the lantern gently sways

Why don't you put the kids to bed?
I didn′t mean the things I said

China, China
The years go rolling by
Laughter, sorrow
I know I′ve made you cry
But China, China
Think before you speak
Always remember
The ocean holds us deep

And if I'm tired
And feeling low
Don′t let me sleep


China, China
The men are on the quay
Drinking, smoking
Talking quietly
The water's calmer now
All my work is done
So China, see you
