Lyrics

Snowing in Beijing

It’s snowing in Beijing
Falling soft on the cherry trees
Red latterns light the crooked alleys
Postcard shots of you and me
It’s snowing in Beijing

Tiananmen Square’s a frozen mile
Ghosts are howling in the air
I long to light a candle
But spies are lurking everywhere
in Tiananmen Square

Jasmine tea and Chairman Mao
Are mingling in my brain
I wonder what he’s thinking now
Most things change, a few remain
A few remain

If I could stop the hands of time
It’s here that I would place them
And all our heartaches yet to come
I’d mercifully erase them

We’ve never looked so happy
I can’t believe it’s true
That in the end my journey
Won’t bring me back to you
Back to you

It’s snowing in Beijing
Falling soft on the cherry trees
Red latterns light the crooked alleys
Postcard shots of you and me
It’s snowing in Beijing
