Once upon a time   Once upon a time   When the cold wind now blows   When the cold wind now 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   Oh, but I spared you those old ballads   All the songs I couldn't play   But every giro day   Where you'd dress me like a ladyboy   And take me high out of the way   And let the horse chase the new deal away   No if we make love in the morning   Oh, don't my eyes look like two marbles in my head      But Lady don't you fall backwards   Come on fall into my arms   And don't you fall backwards   I wouldn't want for you to come to any harm   And tell me if the darkness comes   I will sing you a song   And I'll love you forever   Till the morning comes   But don't you fall backwards   Come on and fall into my arms
