So Long China

(album: Better Days Comin' - 2014)

Now there's nothing left for me to say
There's no way to climb behind your hidden walls
You're untouchable

It wasn't me who made you hurt this way
Somebody made your heart unreachable
You can't let it go

I could have really loved you
Never wanted to say

So long china
Shanghai flower
So long china
I hope you find what you're looking for...

Ya know I'll miss the tiger in your eyes
The way you saw the world was sad and beautiful
Now I see it all

So many times I tried to read your mind
Free the secret pain that's holding you prisoner
Seemed impossible

I know I won't forget you
I never wanted to say

So long china
Shanghai flower
So long china
I guess I wanted something more

I thought you might want to save it
Before these silver engines touch the sky...fly high
I can hardly believe it
I'm leaving and this really is goodbye...you know I tried

I could have really loved you
Never wanted to say

So long china
Shanghai flower
So long china
I'm gone forever
So long china
I hope you find what you're looking for
So long china
Shanghai flower
So long china
I'm gone forever
So long china
