Walking On The Chinese Wall

Phillip Bailey

Walking on a Chinese


walking on a Chinese Wall





Watching for the coins to


watching for the coins to fall.





Butterfly


spread your painted wings


from an answer from the Ching.


By the stream


stretching in the rocks





tiger on the mountain-top.


Walking on the Chinese Wall


watching for the coins to fall.





Now the sun is rising in the east





looking for my golden fleece.


Iv'ry skin


scarlet colour deep





lips that burn but do not speak.


Three misty nights waiting by the shore.


May be that my lover comes no more.


Red chamber dream from the sky above.


Ancient tales of hidden Chinese love.


On the Chinese Wall


watching for the coins to fall.





Blue-red silk burning on my chest





go to sleep but not to rest.


Stepping stones on the yellow sea





dreaming she'll be there for me.


Come down the clouds to the sea of flames.


From the mountain hear the cry of pain.


Red chamber dream from the sky above.


Ancient tales of hidden Chinese love.





On the Chinese Wall


watching for the coins to fall.


On the Chinese Wall


watching for the coins to fall.


On the Chinese Wall -


Butterfly


spread your wings from an answer from the Ching.


Watching for the coins to fall -


Blue-red silk on my chest


go to sleep but not to rest


oh no.


Walking on the Chinese Wall - walking on the Chinese Wall -


Walking on the Chinese Wall - watching for the coins to fall.
