Xizi She Knows
We come to your shores over misty millennium
From hustlers to emperors for power and pleasure
We carve through the cars, dance around the Daily News
Cue in the Grande ?, even your ten-ton tone rings home for Marco Polo
(Chorus)
Slow down from a thread of sky
Slow down to the warp and weft your being
Slow down, you're beautiful, graceful, like no other
Pretty damned good as you are
Slow down, friend of mine
Slow down in a terrible hurry for change
Slow down as you unravel your marvels
From evergreen gardens, remember we loved you this way
(Verse 2)
To treasure it all, scroll out to see
In gold, fire, wood, clay and water
Your structure and flow, adagio to allegro
With leaves to the tide in full moon, plum blossom, we salute to you
(Chorus)
Slow down from a thread of sky
Slow down to the warp and weft your being
Slow down, you're beautiful, graceful, like no other
Pretty damned good as you are
Slow down, friend of mine
Slow down in a terrible hurry for change
Slow down as you unravel your marvels
From evergreen gardens, remember we loved you this way
(Chorus)
Slow down from a thread of sky
Slow down to the warp and weft your being
Slow down, you're beautiful, graceful, like no other
Pretty damned good as you are
Slow down, friend of mine
Slow down in a terrible hurry for change
Slow down as you unravel your marvels
From evergreen gardens, remember we loved you this way
(Bridge)
Whoa, to the warp and weft of your being
You're beautiful, graceful, like no other
Pretty damned good as you are!
Xizi, she knows that once it's gone, then it's gone!
Xizi, she knows that once it's gone, then it's gone!
Xizi, she knows that once it's gone, then it's gone!
(Chinese)
