Lyrics Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson

Shanghai Sky

Strange

How the world got so small

I turned around and there was nowhere left to go

So sad

The dream always dies

Each new arrival closes places in my mind

But I can dream

Until I go

Of smells that I don't recognize

And by the river

In Shanghai

The colour of the sky

Is something I've never seen

After the summer rain

Children smile

Curious and kind

And the world is big again
