hong kong [revisited]

Red brick
Bamboo towers
Line the skyline
With much power

Yellow cars
Smoggy skies
Neon lights
That attract your eyes

Hong Kong is moving around you
You can't help but stand there in awe
Hong Kong is moving without you
But you can't help and drop your jaw

A home away from home
Yet oh so far away
Been years since I've been back
My memories will slowly fade away
My memories will slowly fade away

Late nights
Were alright
Dim sum
Was always fun

With a big family
And too much food
Just eat more
And don't be rude

Your family is living without you
All the way across the sea
Your family is moving without you
No matter how much you plea

A home away from home
Yet oh so far away
Been years since I've been back
My memories will slowly fade away
My memories will slowly fade away

I don't know when I'll be back (when I'll be back)
It feels like I'm losing track of time (I'm losing track)

My memories, they feel so vivid
Yet so much time has passed

You're missing a piece of yourself
You left it behind you there
You're missing a piece of yourself
Don't it feel so unfair?
That your family is living without you
All the way across the sea
Your family is moving without you
No matter how much you plea

Maybe one day you'll see
Them again
Maybe one day I'll see
