The Great Wall Of China Lyric Billy Joel RIVER OF DREAMS

Advice is cheap you can take it from me
It's yours to keep
'cause opinions are free
Nobody knows about the trouble I've seen
Nobody's
perfect, mister, nobody's clean
It costs too much and takes too long to find
out too late
Some words are not heard 'til after they're spoken
Your role
was protective, your soul was too defective
Some people just don't have a
heart to be broken

CHORUS

We could have gone all the way to the
Great Wall of China
If you'd only had a little more faith in me
In lieu of
diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
All the king's
men and all the king's horses
Can't put you together the way you used to
be
We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China

You take a
piece of whatever you touch
Too many pieces means you're touching too
much
You never win if you can't play it straight
You only beat me if you
get me to hate
It must be so lonely to think that you have only
Somebody
else's life to live if they let you
I ain't too selective, but it don't take
no detective
To find out how fast your friends will forget you

We
could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
Now all you're going
to be is history
Help yourself, it's all you can eat at the Empire Diner
tonight
You coulda had class, you coulda been a contender
Charlie, you
shoulda looked out for me
You could have been standing, standing on the Great
Wall of China

This was not your calling, just look how far you've
fallen
I heard your story, man, you've got to be joking
Keep things in
perspective, this is my true objective
Why tear this heart out if it's only
been broken?

CHORUS
