China Sea - John Cale

Seems like you’re always dreaming

Your mind is wandering far away

Thinking 'bout your boy in China

A junkie on the China Sea

Oh your mother told me so

You’re gonna be all right

Don’t let your heart get broken

You know how much he loved to sail

Remember how you heard that steamer whistle blowing

Made him cry all day

Oh mama, she done told me so

You’re gonna be all right

Oooh

I can hear that whistle

I can hear it blowing

I can hear that whistle

I can hear it blowing

(repeat to fade)
