Philip Bailey Walking On The Chinese Wall Lyrics

Walking On The Chinese Wall Lyrics

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.
