China

by Bob Welch

on Three Hearts (1979)

I'm adrift on a sea of mystery
I'm sailin' round the Cape Unknown
But that China girl is waitin' there
So I know where I got to go
Oh China, I can hear you call
You see I really don't have the choices
I'm a prisoner of those oriental eyes
So I pretend to chart my courses
But I'm dreamin' of those China nights
Oh China, I can hear you call
Oh China, Oh China, Oh China, oh yeah
Those oriental eyes are such a mystery
Yeah they are
China calls again
You see now long, long ago
I once had the power to levitate the world
With just my will
Well I thought that it was gone
How could I be so wrong
I belong to China now
Oh China, I can hear you call
