Mandalay

I traced the footsteps through the multi-colored avenues
That wind their way down to the sea
I see the birds that fly beneath the darkened sky
They are the messengers of dreamsMandalay, now I know what you try to be
Mandalay, now I wish you were here with mePages filled with science fiction
Without fear of contradiction
Walking through the fields of evergreen I see a turn and walk away
And from the east there comes a breeze that flows up high into the blueMandalay, now I know what you try to be
Mandalay, now I wish you were here with meThe sound of retribution
In total disillusion, MandalayMandalay, now I know what you try to be
Mandalay, now I wish you were here with meAmidst the confusion
The only conclusionMandalay of the misty eyes
Have gazed into the coming door
The leaves that turn to gold and brown
I've watched them falling to the groundMandalay, now I know what you try to be
Mandalay, now I wish you were here with me
