Jimmie Rodgers’ Dream Lyrics

Outside I Can Hear The Fireworks
Beyond The Paper Walls
Where The Symbols Painted Black And White
Run Together When The Rain Falls
And The Wind Chimes Across Kyoto
Each Time The Earth Moves
Was It The Quake That Shook Me?
Or Was It Something To Do With You?

And The Hot Wind Heats The Bamboo Blinds
And Your Almond Eyes Always Shine
Sitting Cool Behind Your Painted Fan
All The Secrets Of The East
Conceal The Beauty And The Beast
For Tender Is The Man In Her Jimmie Rodgers’ Dream

Flesh On Silk Looks Different
Than On A Cotton Sheet Back Home
Where No One Wears Their Hair Like Yours
Beneath Those Oriental Combs
And With Your Thirsty Fingers Running
Up And Down My Spine
You Forget The Western Woman
When You’re Sleeping On Kyoto Time

And The Hot Wind Heats The Bamboo Blinds
And Your Almond Eyes Always Shine
Sitting Cool Behind Your Painted Fan
All The Secrets Of The East
Conceal The Beauty And The Beast
For Tender Is The Man In Her Jimmie Rodgers’ Dream

And The Sky Explodes
And The Moon Grows Cold
To The Distant Sound Of Drums
And The Sky Explodes
And The Moon Grows Cold
As The Dragons On The Mainland
Wait To Heat The Sun

And The Hot Wind Heats The Bamboo Blinds
And Your Almond Eyes, They Always Shine
Sitting Cool Behind Your Painted Fan
All The Secrets Of The East
Conceal The Beauty And The Beast
For Tender Is The Man In Her Jimmie Rodgers’ Dream

And The Hot Wind Heats The Bamboo Blinds
And Your Almond Eyes, Oh, They Always Shine
Sitting Cool Behind Your Painted Fan
All The Secrets Of The East
Conceal The Beauty And The Beast
For Tender Is The Man In Her Jimmie Rodgers’ Dream

Tender Is The Man In Her Hands
In Her Japanes Hands
In Her Japanes Hands
