Lyrics

Leaving by this time Gone back to find some peace of mind Sailing by my dreams You know the way to live my sound I'm changing all my life Just leaving by Orient Express I'm changing all my life Just leaving by Orient Express People dance with me Into the magical mystery People want to take my feeling By Orient Express I spend time of my life Just leaving by Orient Express I spend time of my life Just leaving by Orient Express Repeat from beginning
