Tony! Toni! Tone! ~ If I Had No Loot [extended version ]

A-mei - Ting Hai

Verse 1:

Write me a letter, telling me what the colour of the sea was today

To describe how it feels like, with the sea accompanying you every night.

'Grey' would mean you'd rather not say; 'blue' would mean you're sad

But you're adrift and your turbulent heart - where will they anchor?


Verse 2:

Write me a letter, telling me what you wish to dream of tonight

Whether or not the 'me' in your dreams and in reality makes no difference to your choice.

I clutch on to my heart, unable to shut my eyes the entire night

Why is that you obviously have feelings for me and yet not moving closer?


Chorus:

Listen to the sound of the crying sea

Lamenting those who have had their hearts broken but fail to sober up

I can’t be one of them – at least I’m very calm

But the tears, even my tears don’t buy that.

Listen to the sound of the crying sea;

This sea is far too emotional, it cries in sorrow till daybreak.

Write me a letter as a final promise to me

Telling me how you really felt when you left me.
