Lyrics
JIANG CHENG
I live in Yunmeng
You live in Gusu
Once, you lived here too
Once, I knew you
I rise every morning
Wondering where in the world
will you wander to today
Will it bring you near
Or will it take you away
But every step I take is guided by
the ones I have loved and have lost
JIANG CHENG (& GHOSTS)
And their ghosts cry (And the ghosts cry)
You will walk, you will walk (Ooh)
You will walk away from me (Ooh)
WEI WUXIAN
Luanzang Gang was dark
We lived cold and starving
I lived colder still for your judging
WEI WUXIAN & JIANG CHENG
I walked through the shadows
Uncertain, and still hurting
Deserted by the brother
I always thought I would have
Somehow we lived to tell
the tale, but lost our way
WEI WUXIAN & JIANG CHENG (& GHOSTS)
Our path to each other (Your path to each other)
torn asunder (torn asunder)
by words we can’t unsay (by words you can’t unsay)
You still walk, you still walk (Ooh)
You still walk away from me (Ooh)
I knew the best of you
You knew the best of me
Though it was not always easy
The knowing, the loving
Will you walk, Will you walk (Will you walk, will you walk)
Will you walk back to me (will you walk back to him)
We were the twin prides of Yunmeng
You and me
You and me
