Chinese -- Lily Allen

I see you from the sky And I wonder how long it will take me to get home I wait for an hour or so at the carousel
I have a cigarette to pass the time Cause the traffic's hell

(**) I don't want anything more Than to see your face when you
open the door You'll make me beans on toast and a nice cup of tea
And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV Tomorrow we'll take the dog
for a walk  And in the afternoon then maybe we'll talk
I'll be exhausted so I'll probably sleep And we'll get a Chinese and watch TV

You wipe the tears from my eye And you say that all that it takes
is a phone call I cry at the thought of being alone and then
I wonder how long it will take til I'm home again

Allen wrote this song about going back home to her mother. This completed the set of songs about Lily's immediate family as previously on her 2007 debut Alright, Still
