- Long Way From China Lyrics / with translationsYou've come a long way from China
On a sea alive with storm
Now won't you come and sit beside of me
I can try and keep you warm
I have some tea that comes from India
And some stolen time I'll mend for you
We'll ride our thoughts like trolleys to the sun
Now that your journey's done
Will you spend your mornings gardening
For the rich folks on the hill?
Seeds of life - roses, gardenias
For the earth you freshly tilled
Old man - some time ago
In China did you garden for the golden Emperor?
Did you ride the rickshaw cabbiеs thru the rain?
I'd like to have known you thеn
You've come a long way to America
Where the traffic wizards rule
The only cherry tree's a fallen one
They try to resurrect in school
Old man - your wisdom comes to me at night
It takes me flying like the dragon kite
That sails over the ocean in the spring
And just like the kite feels for the wind
You are my friend
On a sea alive with storm
Now won't you come and sit beside of me
I can try and keep you warm
I have some tea that comes from India
And some stolen time I'll mend for you
We'll ride our thoughts like trolleys to the sun
Now that your journey's done
Will you spend your mornings gardening
For the rich folks on the hill?
Seeds of life - roses, gardenias
For the earth you freshly tilled
Old man - some time ago
In China did you garden for the golden Emperor?
I'd like to have known you thеn
You've come a long way to America
Where the traffic wizards rule
The only cherry tree's a fallen one
They try to resurrect in school
Old man - your wisdom comes to me at night
It takes me flying like the dragon kite
That sails over the ocean in the spring
And just like the kite feels for the wind
You are my friend
