Old Hanoi Music Lyrics

Where are all the Satchel Boys

Selling books outside the Metripole?

Books to read in English, books of light and sorrows

Of this foreign land and they are gone and they've flown away

Where are all the cyclos

With their drivers pedaling grace?

Crowded out by motorbike, confined to lesser space

In old Hanoi and they grew wings and they've flown away

And in the words of Graham Greene

Like the Quiet American

Who's searching these sacred streets

For old Hanoi

And in all of these sacred things

That I've been blessed in life to see

I believe I'm in someone's dream

In history

Where is the eloquence

Of the ladies on their bicycles?

Dressed in their au dias in the lotus flowered nights

Of Indochine and they rode to progress and they've flown away

And in the words of Graham Greene

Like the Quiet American

Who's searching these sacred streets

For old Hanoi, old Hanoi, old Hanoi

Searching for Indochine, the old Hanoi

Cherchant l' Indochine, in old Hanoi, in old Hanoi
