Chinese

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I see you from the sky

And I wonder how long it will take me to get home

I wait for an hour or so at the carousel

I have a cigarette to pass the time

Cause the traffic's hell

I don't want anything more

Than to see your face when you open the door

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

You wipe the tears from my eye

And you say that all that it takes is a phone call

I cry at the thought of being alone and then

I wonder how long it will take til I'm home again

I don't want anything more

Than to see your face when you open the door

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

I know it doesn't seem so fair

But I'll send you a postcard when I get there

I don't want anything more

Than to see your face when you open the door

You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

Tomorrow we'll take the dog for a walk

And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk

I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep

And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV
