noël coward - half-caste woman lyrics

Loading...

(verse)
laugh a bit, drink a bit, love a bit more
you can supply our need
chaff a bit, think a bit, what’s it all for?
that’s your eurasian creed

sailors with sentimental hearts
who love and sail away
when the dawn is gray
look at you and say

(chorus)
half+caste woman, living a life apart
where did your story begin?
half+caste woman, have you a secret heart
waiting for someone to win?

were you born of some queer magic
in your shimmering gown?
is there something strange and tragic
deep, deep down?

half+caste woman, what are your slanting eyes
waiting and hoping to see?
scanning the far horizon
wondering what the end will be
(bridge)
down along the river
thе sky is a quiver
for dawn is beginning to break

hеar the sirens wailing
some big ship is sailing
and leaving your dreams in its wake

why should you remember the things that are past
moments so softly gone?
why worry for the lord knows
life goes on

go to bed in daylight
try to sleep in vain
get up in the evening
work begins again
tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
questioning the same refrain

(chorus)
half+caste woman, living a life apart
where did your story begin?
half+caste woman, have you a secret heart
waiting for someone to win?
were you born of some queer magic
in your shimmering gown?
is there something strange and tragic
deep, deep down?

half+caste woman, what are your slanting eyes
waiting and hoping to see?
scanning the far horizon
wondering what the end will be
