Hong Kong Cemetry

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There are ten thousand graves in Hong Kong Protestant Cemetery Every one of them says "born and died" and the rest might be history [Pre-Chorus 1] Walking there, I'd cry For my love was there to lie I never knew shade to be so refreshing I'd sing Georgia on My Mind, she would be, I'd be regressing [Chorus] I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright [Verse 2] Was a day off the boats for the fellas in coats in the navy They'd be all around, change the face of this town 'cause they're lazy [Pre-Chorus 2] 1952 Was the year that I lost you I was with the soldiers in the school hall Didn't know that you were ill, you didn't seem old [Chorus] I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright [Bridge] Don't go China show, new so blue So who's aboard the boats these days? Some people are fixing the terrible Mixing the crew of all the sailors say [Verse 3] Your life might be a mess of lights when you're on your own But the lights you'll see form a line that'll be pointing all the way home [Pre-Chorus 3] I was here before My name was on the door Took a score of years to get to your seat I'll send the next in line, he'll be a clean sheet [Chorus] I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright
