In the month of May, in the glory of the day
Came the descendants of a hundred flowers
And their fight it did begin with the aging Mandarin
And they fought with an extraordinary power
Everyone was smiling, their hearts were one
In Tiananmen Square
But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing
Came just before the Fall
There was no summer at all
In Tiananmen Square
China... China
There's peace in the emerald fields, there's mist upon the lakes
But something is afoot in the People's Hall
The spirit of Chu Ping is alive in young Chai Ling
And the Emperor has his back against the wall
Black sun rising over Tiananmen Square
Over Tiananmen Square
But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing
Came just before the Fall
There was no summer at all
In Tiananmen Square
China... China
In the month of June, in the darkness of the moon
Went the descendants of a hundred flowers
And time may never tell how many of them fell
Like the petals of a rose in some satanic shower
Everyone was weeping in all of China
And Tiananmen Square
But it seems that the Spring this year in Beijing
Came just before the Fall
There was no summer at all
In Tiananmen Square
China... China
And even the moon on the fourth day of June
Hid her face and did not see
Black sun rising over Tiananmen Square
And Wang Wei Lin, you remember him
All alone he stood before the tanks
A shadow of forgotten ancestors in Tiananmen Square
And my blue-eyed son, you had no one
You could call a hero of your age
You have the rainbow warriors of Tiananmen Square, singing
China Shall Be Free
China Shall Be Free

All the way to New York
I can feel the distance getting close
You're right next to me
But I need an airplane
I can feel the distance as you breathe
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build the great wall around you
In your eyes I saw the future
Together you just look away in the distance
China decorates our table
Funny how the cracks don't seem to show
Pour the wine dear
You say we'll take a holiday
But we never can agree on where to go
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build the great wall around you
In your eyes I saw the future
Together you just look away in the distance
China all the way to New York
Maybe you got lost in Mexico
You're right next to me
I think that you can hear me
Funny how the distance
Learns to grow
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build the great wall around you
In your eyes I saw the future
Together you just look away in the distance
I can feel the distance
I can feel the distance

Baby still looks like you're on your way to china
China, chi-nay, far away
Baby said how long you gonna stay in china
China, chi-nay, far away
I said I'll be back as soon as I can from china
China, chi-nay, far away
I said babe I hope you understand about china
China, chi-nay, far away
I'm walkin' with my baby but man I'm in china
China, chi-nay, far away
I'm talkin' with my baby but mmm I'm in china
China, chi-nay, far away
I come in on the run from china
China, chi-nay, far away
I tried to hug my baby some, she's in china
China, chi-nay, far away
O maybe somewhere down the line O china
China, chi-nay, far away
We'll get back the same time from china
China, chi-nay, far away
Baby said looks like you're on your way to china
China, chi-nay, far away
Baby said how long you gonna stay in china

Floatin' on a sea of mystery
A driftaround came unknown
But that China wind keeps callin' me
It knows where I wanna go
Chorus:
Oh China, I can hear you call
China, I can hear you call
You see, I really don't have the choices
My life is torn between lovin you and them
So I pretend to chart my courses
But I listen to that China wind
[Chorus]
Oh, China, ooh China, yeah China my friend
You're a little wrapped up inside a mystery
Yea, you are, China come again
And long, long ago I once had the power
To levitate the world with just my will
Yea, but I must gone wrong
That feelin's long gone
I belong to the China wind
[Chorus]
Oh, China, ooh China, yeah China my friend
You're a little wrapped up inside a mystery
Yea, you are, China come again
Oh yeah!

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, the thoughts drift from the sea
I'm dreaming, of you, wear your dress for me
China, china, the oceans on the wheel(? )
The seagulls flying lower now
China I can feel you by my side
Across the bay, across the tyne
Can you hear me say
China, china, wear your hair down low
Lady, lady, you're frozen to the bone
China, china, the catch was good today
The oilskins clinging to my back
And the lantern gently sways
Oh don't you cry, the kids to bed
Didn't mean the things I said
China, china, the years go rolling by
Laughter, sorrow, I will not make you cry
China, china, think before you speak
Always remember the ocean hauls as deep
And if I'm tired of feeling low
Don't let me sleep, you know
China, china, the men are on the quay
Drinking, smoking, talking quietly
The water's calmer now
All my work is done

Ah Miss G Mary won't you C please G come home from D(7) China.
Bring a G bottle of whisky and a C tin cup G for your D(7) teeth.
Em Don't you sneak D into the G back door C wearing some D(7) disguise.
Em Knock on the D front door in G view of the C Temperance D(7) Guild.
Ah Miss Mary won't you please come home cause I miss ya.
Your old spinster sister don't always give good advice.
Look at her she's in love with that drunken bandy-legged sheriff.
He'll unzip her pantsuit, but never leave his fat wife
CHORUS:
Ah Miss Em Mary won't you B please come home from C China.
A Come home from G China.
D Come home from C China Am6.
REPEAT CHORUS
Now that fake old beatnik poet the volunteer fireman.
He don't care if you come, he don't like I do.
He's in love with his dog and all his volunteer fireman.
And he is afraid to let the end of his versus rhyme.
REPEAT CHORUS x2

China, saw your sister on the Nile/online
When I asked her, he admitted they all love
Come on down, we're gonna take you deeper
You're gonna be fine, you're gonna be asleep
And when the day comes
Come on down, we're swimming in the black now
Can't go forward, can't go back
When the end comes
China, heard you singing with your friends
I'll be back tomorrow when my body mends

China – Your eyes say something wild tonight
China – Do you know what I feel inside?
China – Silver skies are like your smile
China – Evenin' tide says stay awhile
Wait for the light of the mornin' star
The world is turnin' and here we are
Soon you'll see what the stars are for
They shine above they light the way to love
China – Nothin' in the city means as much to me
China – Than singin' here beside you beneath the trees
China – I look at you can this be true
China – I'm standing in a dream
Sleep like a child when the nights are warm
Deep in the darkness your dreams are born
When you awaken your dreams take form
They shine above, they light the way to love
China – Floating on the sea like a crystal ball
China – First you're here and then you're gone
China – You're everything and you're nothin' at all
China – The evening tide says stay a while, stay a while

A billion hearts are beating
Far across the water
China
And when the sun is shining
Their land is cloaked in darkness
China
Silent eyes watching the western world
Guarded hearts hidden like precious pearls
Who can reach you, China
All the ancient wisdom
Passed down through the ages
China
Still has left you thirsting
For something that can heal you
China
Laboring under the crimson hand
Countless wheels turning at each command
Praying for you, China
Some recall the story
Told by distant strangers
China
Whispered like a rumor
The King of Hearts is coming
China
Hands of love knock at your mighty wall
All your tears Jesus has felt them fall
He's calling to you, China
Praying for you, China

I've traveled far
Over the oceans
Seen other worlds
Only one girl
Has my devotion
China my love
I dream about you
And I guess I've learned
There's no return
To life without you
Open your heart
I know that you can
You'll never find true love till you do
China it's true
China I know
You've been conditioned
But on this night
Maybe you might
Forget your traditions
There must be love
Somewhere inside you
And you must confess
Your happiness
Has been denied you
Ten thousand miles
Can't keep us apart
I swear I will come back to you
China I do
China your eyes
Say you're believing
All I want to do
Is make love to you
And not be dreaming

(jack hues / nick de spig)
China, china, on the sea shore
China, china, on the dance floor
China, china, I must have seen your face before
I've been to cairo and I've been to khartoum
I've seen them places from my rented room
I've been to paris and I've been to marseille
But that was nothing till I got to cathay
I've been to new york and I've been to l.a.
I've been to delhi and I've been to bombay
I've been to venice and I've been to rome
But now it's peking that I think of as home
China, china, on the sea shore
China, china, on the dance floor
China, china, there's no finer place on earth

She'll suck on anything you give her
Stare at anything that's shiny bright
Her voice cuts through the sea even when its stormy
But she's only two feet high - she'll get higher
I hope she sees some things that will make her time happy
It all comes in so fast it all comes in
She sleeps through almost any sound
Even when its screaming loud and clear
But she wakes up and smiles at a friendly voice
If it whispers softly in her ear
I see in her new face, a clear beginning
It all comes in so fast it all comes in
She knows who she is without looking
She says it out happy when the feeling is there
She's an all new person who says just what she feels
She's a fat faced goddess of nowhere
I hope she sees some things that will make her time happy

I´m adrift on a sea of mystery
I´m sailin´ round the Cape Unknown
But that China girl is waitin´ there
So I know where I got to go
Oh China, I can hear you call
You see I really don´t have the choices
I´m a prisoner of those oriental eyes
So I pretend to chart my courses
But I´m dreamin´ of those China nights
Oh China, I can hear you call
Oh China, Oh China, Oh China, oh yeah
Those oriental eyes are such a mystery
Yeah they are
China calls again
You see now long, long ago
I once had the power to levitate the world
With just my will
Well I thought that it was gone
How could I be so wrong
I belong to China now

Take it all in
instead of writing it down
trying to find a way
to get out of this town
seacrhing for contact
waiting on the last act
binding my time
because I'll never be back
hoping to find
that I'm one of a kind
willing to settle
for some piece of mind
I'm going to sail to china
or move to carolina
find my self some peace
and take myself some time to fall
and I'll fall and I'll fall
for the first pretty girl
and I'll give her my heart
and I'll make her my world
and we'll dance and dance and dance
we live and all we are
and all lives we're all unsure
all we do and all we see
and all we want and we need
all we feel and all we know
and all we hide and all we show
all take we take and all we give

Always on my own
I've been spending too much time all alone
I just can't go on, no
Nights go flying by
End this walk and empty talk
Turn the world into wine
You can't be here
Losing track of time
You are always on my mind
I've been too long without you
When the moment's drawing near
When you'll never disappear
I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you forever
Since you came along
You're locked inside me
Nothing can't go wrong when you're beside me
When I feel you next to me
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You take me out of the cold
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You held the darkness and fold yeah
Feeling sacred in your arms
I'm protected from all harm
You'll always surround me
Cos the moment's finally here
When you'll never disappear
I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you forever
Since you came along
You're locked inside me
Nothing can go wrong when youre beside me
When I feel you next to me
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You take me out of the cold
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You held the darkness and fold
We make love at first light
I know it's love and I know that it's real
I know it's love, we both know what we feel
I know it's for you, and I know it's for me
I'm going to love you for the rest of my life
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You take me out of the cold
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You held the darkness and fold
We make love at first light
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You take me out of the cold
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You held the darkness and fold
We make love at first light
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You take me out of the cold
In the middle of the night
In the middle of a lonely night
You held the darkness and fold
We make love at first light

Everywhere you go they grab your hand and don't let go
Try to make you stay
They embrace you, give you everything you need
But they don't understand
One more day in your world, you keep on trying to avoid
Listening to what they say
All caught up in yourself, can't stop dwelling on the past
Just another wasted day
No, you don't care about what they tell you
They just make you feel insane
And you won't talk about what you've been through
You just live with the pain
They can't see through your eyes, you stand aside and analyze
Every move that they make
But if you take a good look around, it won't be long until you find
They care for you and everything they do is for your own good
No, you don't care about what they tell you
They just make you feel insane
And you won't talk about what you've been through
You just live with the pain
Why don't you give up the fight?
They might not always be right
But there's another way to fix this
Just let them into your world
Let everything unfold
Don't be afraid to let go of your loneliness
No, you don't care about what they tell you
They just make you feel insane
And you won't talk about what you've been through
