Billy Childs, Esperanza Spalding, Wayne Shorter - Upstairs by a Chinese Lamp lyrics

[Billy Childs, Esperanza Spalding, Wayne Shorter - Upstairs by a Chinese Lamp lyrics]

Market in the cool white morning
Merchants sell as ladies buy
Milk, tobacco, soap and matches
Sweep the floor while the dishes dry
Mmm hmm, spring whispered in her ear
Like soft Mediterranean wailin'

Sleepy woman by the window
Dreamin' in the morning air
Of the man who takes her sweetness
By a Chinese lamp upstairs
The steam of China tea
You could hear the woman sing
In the soft flames of spring

Spring has swept the scarlet side streets
Winds caress, winds caress undress, invitе
Upstairs by a China lamp
They softly talk in the cool spring night
La la la la la la la la la la, ah mmm
La la la la la, la ya la la la
La la la la la la
La
