China — текст песни (Ian Hunter)

(ian hunter)



(transcribed by colin ford



China, china, the evenings moving in

See you, soon now, the boat moves with the wind

China, china, I can see the harbour lights

Light your, fire, well be warm tonight



China, china, the thoughts drift from the sea

Im 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, youre frozen to the bone

China, china, the catch was good today

The oilskins clinging to my back

And the lantern gently sways



Oh dont you cry, the kids to bed

Didnt 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 Im tired of feeling low

Dont let me sleep, you know



China, china, the men are on the quay

Drinking, smoking, talking quietly

The waters calmer now

All my work is done

So china, see ya.
