Mandalay Lyrics - Electric Light Orchestra

I traced the footsteps through the multi-colored avenues 

That wind their way down to the sea 

I see the birds that fly beneath the darkened sky 

They are the messengers of dreams 

 

Mandalay, now I know what you try to be 

Mandalay, now I wish you were here with me 

 

Pages filled with science fiction 

Without fear of contradiction 

Walking through the fields of evergreen I see a turn and walk away 

And from the east there comes a breeze that flows up high into the blue 

 

Mandalay, now I know what you try to be 

Mandalay, now I wish you were here with me 

 

The sound of retribution 

In total disillusion, Mandalay 

 

Mandalay, now I know what you try to be 

Mandalay, now I wish you were here with me 

 

Amidst the confusion 

The only conclusion 

 

Mandalay of the misty eyes 

Have gazed into the coming door 

The leaves that turn to gold and brown 

I've watched them falling to the ground 

 

Mandalay, now I know what you try to be 

Mandalay, now I wish you were here with me
