The Chinese Song Songtext
von The Children's Hour

"Chinese"
(Chanting.)
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
