Pulled into Vladivostok Must have been a hundred degrees below And I can't remember ever being that cold Then they shackled us like criminals And put us on a train And we waited in the darkness and the snow
We awakened in the morning As the train began to roll And the freezing Russian winter Had already claimed a soul From mountains ever northward Seemed like six or seven days Till we finally found the place we were to go
Hey Hey Vladivostok...What's it gonna be? I'm so lonely, you're the only place thats left for me Hey Hey Vladivostok, you got me on my knees It's been so long since I went wrong Someone help me, won't you please
I wish that I could see you Hold you near just one more time And hear you say the things you used to do Well, lo and behold, I see before my eyes A vision...apparition of you
You know I'd go a thousand miles And I'd walk most all the way Just to see you smile the way you do ...the way you do
