On the opposing side

We walk on the opposing sides

of one same street,

We are parallel lines

that shall never meet,

I want to reach out my hand

and touch your wavering heart

but you take a step back

and I lose my chance.

I try to call out your name,

to ask you to stay,

"Don't move away,

I'm coming your way",

you smile at me

from the opposing street

Did you hear it?

We stand on opposing sides

of one pedestrian crossing,

Are you waiting for me?

But the light turns green

and you just walk pass me,

and we are now once more

opposing lines 

of a single railway. 

Orbiting around each other

but never ever meeting,

Can I satisfy myself

by walking the same rail

unable to reach you?

What does it take

for you to turn around

and look my way?

You don't have to move,

I will walk to you,

You just have to wait.

I will touch your soul

a sunflower a day,

for you are the sun

I revolve around.

If you take my message

you don't have to come,

just wait a bit,

I will run to you.

From opposing sides

of one same street

if I reach out to you

Will you wait for me?

The Red Lights of Shanghái

Walking down the riverside,

Yangtzé is full of pride,

I leave the red lights behind,

wave farewell to Shanghái.

I left my heart in a golden cage,

a single man bears the key,

he owns this time and age,

he is a king,

the bearer of gold and outrage.

He walked me down the stage,

rose me up to his realm,

dressed me up on silk and jade

and walked me down the aisle of his pretend.

I'm a simple lady,

I don't wish for much,

open up your heart

and I will gift you mine back.

I'm leaving Shanghái,

the red lights behind,

I know that your love

is just a lie...

So I'm leaving Shanghái

and my heart behind

You put a crown upon my head,

and in gold chained my wrists,

you locked up my heart

and left it to starve for dreams

I'm a simple lady

I don't wish for diamonds,

if you say you love me

I'll give up my heart for you

I'm leaving Shanghái,

the red lights behind,

your love for me

was just a lie...

So I'm leaving Shanghái

Like a trophy on your stand

you paid for me, you dressed me up,

you bought my body, I gifted my heart,

I have nothing left but pride and hurt

I'm a simple lady,

I don't wish for gold,

if you tell me "I love you"

I'll love you in return

I'm leaving Shanghái

the red lights behind,

your loving words

were but a lie...

So I'm leaving Shanghái,

the red lights and you behind,

you showed me around,

a trophy of your hunt,

I loved you in return,

I lived a dream,

a fantasy,

among the red lights

of Yangtzé's riverside.

But I woke up

and so...

I'm leaving Shanghái

and the red lights behind.
