Shanghai Sky Lyrics - Joe Jackson

Strange 

How the world got so small 

I turned around and there was nowhere left to go 

So sad 

The dream always dies 

Each new arrival closes places in my mind 

But I can dream 

Until I go 

Of smells that I don't recognize 

And by the river 

In Shanghai 

The color of the sky 

Is something I've never seen 

After the summer rain 

Children smile 

Curious and kind 

And the world is big again
