Tales of the Streets歌词

作词 : XINGLIN ZHENG
作曲 : XINGLIN ZHENG
In alleys where rubies are hidden in refuse
He mines for gems in mountains of news
Whispering to the breeze, he crafts tales grand
A cardboard castle in his own wonderland
Dancing with shadows, singing to the moon
His laughter blends with the waltz of cars
Dreaming of feasts, where all friends convene
Each empty can, a treasure unseen
He sails the concrete with his tattered coat sails
Finding silver in cans, magic in retail
A stray cat his knight, a stray dog his steed
Together they venture, fulfilling a need
Dancing with shadows, singing to the moon
His laughter caught on a windy tune
Dreaming a life where the stars all reach
Every empty bottle, a lesson they preach
Whispers of tales from the winds that roam
Shadows as partners, the streets his home
Yet with each step, his dreams cast long
In the echoes of the city, he finds his song
In twilight's embrace, he dines with the Sparrow King
Feasting on memories that the brisk wind brings
A banquet laid on a spread of news
His goblet a jar, his audience the ruse
Dancing with shadows, singing to the moon
Echoes of joy, beneath the urban swoon
Paths paved with gold, in stories untold
Each piece of trash, a battle won
On his golden throne, he reigns under the bridge
Collecting whispers of the city as his privilege
As night fades, reality sharp and stark
His palace dwindles to shadows in the dark
Dancing with shadows, singing to the moon
With a jester's grin under the silver boon
Fables of the streets woven in air
Every scrap of foil, a crown to wear
Dancing with shadows, singing to the moon
With a jester's grin under the silver boon
Fables of the streets woven in air
Every scrap of foil, a crown to wear
