The Chinese Mile (o’farrell / tiernan)

Down the Chinese mile
I covered my love in silk.
There was blood inside this fruit.
And I could taste the body of her love
And The flesh was fabulous
And really good to eat.

All you boys and you girls.
We only know one world.
It’s a fabulous world to know.
We only know one world.
It’s a fabulous world to know.

If I wrote my love a two step.
Don’t you know she’d dance a waltz.
We’d be Tripping to a music box.
And I could hold the body of her love…
And the touch would be fabulous,
And Sweeter than the air I breathe.

All you boys and you girls.
We only know one world.
It’s a fabulous world to know.
We only know one world.
It’s a fabulous world we know.

I spent a lovely Christmas time,
By the fire with a bottle of red wine.
And Li cooked me her T-Bone.
She knows I like her T-Bone
I really love her T-Bone.
Don’t you know I love her T-Bone.

See how the moon is waning.
But will come around again,
Slipping thru the edges of time…
Behold our body of love..
While we revolve around the sun.

Like a ship inside a bottle,
Another bottle inside the ship.

Like a ship inside a bottle,
Another bottle inside the ship.
