China Blue and Mahogany

SMOKING FIRESIDE, ANOTHER MOONLIT RIDE
NORTH WINDS BLOWING IN, HERE I AM AGAIN

ALONE IN THOUGHT, PATHS TAKEN, LESSONS TAUGHT
THE COUNTRY SOUNDS AT NIGHT, LOVE IS A BIRD TAKING FLIGHT

MY EYES ARE CHINA BLUE
AND MAHOGANY FOR YOU

EVERYDAY IS A SUNDAY, WISHING YOU'D PASS MY WAY
THAT OLD FEELING AGAIN, YOU'RE SO FAR AWAY MY FRIEND

GO BACK AND RIGHT THE WRONGS, POUR IT ALL OUT IN MY SONGS
BLINDING BLACK VELVET SKY, WAIT FOR SUNRISE TO TELL ME WHY

MY EYES ARE CHINA BLUE
AND MAHOGANY FOR YOU

WALK TOGETHER HAND IN HAND, MAKE SOME CASTLES IN THE SAND
WAVES BRING THE DRIFTWOOD IN, OUR STEPS ON THE BEACH AGAIN

THESE DAYS AND NIGHTS, FULL OF TEARDROPS, THE RAIN NEVER STOPS
FIND YOU IN MY DREAMS TONIGHT, YOU'RE HOLDING ME, I'LL BE ALRIGHT

MY EYES ARE CHINA BLUE
AND MAHOGANY FOR YOU

MORE THAN A MEMORY SET FREE, ONLY LOVE CAN DO THAT TO ME
YOU WALK INTO MY DAYS, AT NIGHT I REMEMBER YOUR WAYS

WIND TELLS A STORY I CAN SEE, IT BLOWS YOUR SPIRIT BACK TO ME
BUT IT'S AN AFFAIR OF THE MIND, LOCKED AWAY AND LOST IN TIME

MY EYES ARE CHINA BLUE
AND MAHOGANY FOR YOU

SITTING BY A FIRE WATCHING THE SMOKE RISE
WITH THE STARS AND THE MOONLIGHT IN OUR SKIES

BECAUSE WE'RE MILES AWAY
IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE A SUNDAY

MY EYES ARE CHINA BLUE
AND MAHOGANY FOR YOU
