I Can Sail To China

(album: American Faces - 1987)

You put me on a cloud with your first kiss
Loving me was your only wish
I was feeling like a king on a throne

Now all there is is a constant pain
The cloud is bursting, it's pouring rain
On the emptiness I feel in my soul

I could sail to China on the tears I've cried
All the way to old Shanghai
In a broken heart on a sea of blue
I can sail to China on the tears I've cried for you

The sky above has turned so dark
And we've drifted so far apart
We can't even find the time to say goodbye

Now wave so long to what might have been
Say hello to the wind
And slowly disappear with the tide

I could sail to China on the tears I've cried
All the way to old Shanghai
In a broken heart on a sea of blue
I can sail to China on the tears I've cried for you

I can sail to China on the tears I've cried for you
