Upstairs By a Chinese Lamp

Lyrics

Market in the cool white mornin'
 Merchants sell while women buy
 Milk, tobacco, soap and matches
 Sweep the floor while the dishes dry
 Spring whispered in her ear
 Like soft Mediterranean wailin'
 Sleepy woman by the window
 Dreamin' in the morning air
 Of the one who takes her sweetness
 By a Chinese lamp upstairs
 The steam of China tea
 You could hear the woman sing
 In the soft flames of spring
 Spring has swept the scarlet side streets
 Winds caress, undress, invite
 Upstairs by a China lamp
 They softly talk in the cool spring night
