Upstairs By A Chinese Lamp Paroles

Sweep the floor while the dishes dry



spring whispered in her ear

like soft Mediterranean wailin'



Sleepy woman by the window

dreaming in the morning air

of the man who takes her sweetness

by a Chinese lamp upstairs


in the soft flames of spring



Spring has swept the scarlet sidestreets

winds caress, undress, invite

Upstairs by a Chinese lamp

they softly talk in the cool spring night
