Philip Bailey - 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
For an answer from the Ching

By the stream stretching in the rocks
Tiger on the mountaintop

Walking on the Chinese Wall
Watching for the coins to fall

Now the sun is rising in the east
Looking for my golden fleece
Ivory skin, scarlet color 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, oh, yeah
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
