[Verse] Paper walls and lanterns sway Dreams drift in like clouds today Wooden floors that creak and hum A thousand whispers Where’s it from [Prechorus] Teapot steaming Secrets brew The house it listens It watches too [Chorus] In the Chinese house Where shadows play Every corner hides a tale They say Red and gold The stories unfold In the Chinese house It never grows old [Verse 2] Doors that slide but never close Windows framing cherry rose The moon peeks in A curious guest This house is alive It never rests [Bridge] The dragon’s carved Its eyes so wise It sees the truth beneath disguise And when the night begins to dance The house joins in As if entranced [Chorus] In the Chinese house Where shadows play Every corner hides a tale They say Red and gold The stories unfold In the Chinese house It never grows old [Verse] Red lanterns swing low slow Paper dragons guard the glow I knock three times the echo hums A secret place where silence drums [Chorus] In the Chinese house Where the shadows play Walls of whispers keep the world away Tea leaves swirl in a porcelain sea The Chinese house holds the mystery [Verse 2] Golden koi swim on the floor Ink-stained tales behind each door Jasmine lingers it never leaves Time folds itself like ancient sleeves [Prechorus] Do you feel it pull you near A world that's quiet but loud to hear [Chorus] In the Chinese house Where the shadows play Walls of whispers keep the world away Tea leaves swirl in a porcelain sea The Chinese house holds the mystery [Bridge] A crack in the moon a laugh in the air Steps on the stair but no one's there The past and present dance as one In the Chinese house where it's never done
