The Sound of Music

Remember... Gulangyu

The drumming waves of Piano Island
Resound on the far side of the island
The voices of tour guides arriving early each morning with packs of tourists
Resounds throughout the island...
The music of Gulangyu has slowly deserted the island
Seeking better fate in a faraway land
There was a time when the sound of piano
Could be heard throughout this lil dot on the map
Exuding from every tiny window on the island



I poured out my woes at the reception of MOGO where I stayed
I was comforted by Xiao Pan, the ever so friendly staff
I should count my blessings
I was there before the last sound of music is gone
