Walking On The Chinese Wall Lyrics By Philip Bailey

    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
