Shanghai
Croaking toads in silver fields
Moonlight shining on
The seeds were planted before the rain
The growing time had begun
I was out there taking it in
Looking at the million stars
I knew that things would be OK
I had known it right from the start
Right from the start
Ferry boat take me across the sea
I was under my own steam
Seeking out the old world
Along a coast I'd never seen
I caught sight of a fishing boat
On a west wind out of Shanghai
Old man standing out on the prow
And the world sees eye to eye
Big ship nosing its way upstream
River tugs smoking by
I got a strange intoxication
Under blue September sky
Stepped onto the mainland
Everything was in my stride
Bright beneath the big sky
I was laughing like a kid inside
Like a kid inside
Moonlight shining on
The seeds were planted before the rain
The growing time had begun
I was out there taking it in
Looking at the million stars
I knew that things would be OK
I had known it right from the start
Right from the start
Ferry boat take me across the sea
I was under my own steam
Seeking out the old world
Along a coast I'd never seen
I caught sight of a fishing boat
On a west wind out of Shanghai
Old man standing out on the prow
And the world sees eye to eye
Big ship nosing its way upstream
River tugs smoking by
I got a strange intoxication
Under blue September sky
Stepped onto the mainland
Everything was in my stride
Bright beneath the big sky
I was laughing like a kid inside
Like a kid inside
