once upon a time when the cold wind that blows when the cold wind that blows in my heart it was a summer breeze and she would meet me in chinatown for opium and tea and she always brought me flowers but i spared you those old ballads or songs that i couldn t play but every giro day she d dress me like a lady boy and take me out of the way don t let the horse chase the new deal away no if we make love in the morning i see your eyes look like two marbles in your head lady don t you fall backwards c mon and fall into my arms aw don t you fall backwards well i wouldn t want for you to come to any harm now tell me if darkness comes then i will sing you a song and i will love you forever at least til morning comes lady don t you fall backwards come on and fall into my arms come on and fall into my arms
