On a Slow Boat to China
Sailing into Love's Embrace: A Slow Boat to China
Lyrics
I'd love to get you
I would love to have you
On a slow boat to China
On a leisurely journey to China
All to myself alone
All to myself, without any distractions
Get you and keep you
To acquire you and hold you close
In my arms ever more
In my arms for an eternity
Leave all your lovers
Abandon all your other lovers
Weeping on a far away shore
Crying on a distant shore
Out on the briny
On the open sea
With the moon big and shiny
With a large, luminous moon
Melting your heart of stone
Softening your seemingly unfeeling heart
Honey I'd love to get you
My dear, I would love to have you
On a slow boat to China
On a slow journey to China
All by myself alone
All alone, just the two of us
I'd love to get ya
I would love to have you
On a slow boat to China
On a leisurely journey to China
All to myself alone
All to myself, without any distractions
A twist in the rudder
A sudden change in direction
And a rip in the sails
And damage to the sails
Drifting and dreaming
Adrift and lost in reverie
Honey throw the compass over the rail
My love, discard the navigational instrument
Out on the ocean
Far out at sea
Far from all the commotion
Away from all the chaos
Melting your heart of stone
Softening your seemingly unfeeling heart
Honey I'd love to get you
My dear, I would love to have you
On a slow boat to China
On a slow journey to China
All to myself alone.
All alone, just the two of us
