lyrics

Mother, looks down and smiles
is a cool moon in the night
sparrow dreams and spider sings
in the, deep blue sky

walkie-talkie time
shadows, hide in rhymes
arrows and apple blossoms
a glass of red wine

— friends, walk together, down the street
kiss me some day, when we meet
carry on, when the light turns green

lipstick on the police
knight sticks, a king and a priest
Xi (shee) thinks, it’s the Middle Kingdom
but Lyndon Johnson , lost his children

Mother looks down and cries
a cruel moon with angry eyes
even the emperor hides in shadows
shadows hide in rhymes

— friends, walk together, down the street
kiss me some day, when we meet
carry on, when the light turns green

Mother, looks down and smiles
is a cool moon in the night
sparrow dreams and spider sings
in the, deep blue sky
