Meet me on the banks of the Yangtze, Suzie Beneath the glare of the New-West Yard We'll watch the barges cart away The waste of another day We'll watch the barges cart away The waste of another day Meet me in the middle of Renmin Park Where the stone bridge meets the pond We'll watch the ducklings gobbling bread And the stealth of the approaching swan We'll watch the ducklings gobbling bread And the stealth of the approaching swan Listen for the song of the propane seller bouncing off the walls
A kiss before the morning knows I'm gone A kiss before the new day finds me gone Listen for the song of the propane seller drifting through our dreams You at the end of your sky and me in the corner of my sea His morning cry a promise to you from me His morning song a blessing on you and me Meet me on the steps of Gu Xian Temple Where the old ways greet the dawn We'll watch the darkness leach away into the haze of another day We'll watch the darkness leach away into the haze of another day
