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
