Lyrics - Walking On The Chinese Wall by Philip Bailey

Walking on a
Chinesewalking on a
Chinese
Wall
Watching for the coins towatching for the coins to fall.
Butterflyspread your painted wingsfrom an answer from the
Ching.
By the streamstretching in the rockstiger on the mountain-top.
Walking on the
Chinese
Wallwatching for the coins to fall.
Now the sun is rising in the eastlooking for my golden fleece.
Iv'ry skinscarlet colour deeplips 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
Wallwatching for the coins to fall.
Blue-red silk burning on my chestgo to sleep but not to rest.
Stepping stones on the yellow seadreaming 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
Wallwatching for the coins to fall.
On the
Chinese
Wallwatching for the coins to fall.
On the
Chinese
Wall -
Butterflyspread your wings from an answer from the
Ching.
Watching for the coins to fall -
Blue-red silk on my chestgo to sleep but not to restoh no.
Walking on the
Chinese
Wall - walking on the
Chinese
Wall -
Walking on the
Chinese
Wall - watching for the coins to fall.
