Enter in with me
the morning mist of the yangtze,
its grey, its yellow fog
through her dawn
her jagged mounds

Enter in with me
my silken hand 
my ancient place embrace
my white and flowing robe
light as air

Erhu strings bring me in 
yellow river
it’s alright, all will be alright
enter in with me in 
in the morning mist

Yangtze grey, yellow fog
the river cry, 
the storks fly
lay gentle your head
upon the luohanchuang mine
by the fireplace, its cricket lulls

You deep asleep
let the erhu play
it will be alright

The gentle stars shine 
through the door
the twilight light 
leads you to my ta
my royal bed

You are mine tonight
enter in with me 
in the yangtze night 
past twilight
let the erhu play

Gentle is the night
in the yangtze air
let it flow

Take my brown tanned hand
your cream and yellow skin
your white and flowing robe
light as air
brings me in

Erhu strings take me up the yangtze
its grey, yellow fog
envelopes your heart with mine
the river sings
the storks fly
lay your gentle head upon my chest
upon my lap you may rest
