Vertical Horizon - Japan lyrics

rate me

I saw a young man by a telephone He was sitting alone in the rain I said, "Hey, young man what you doing here?" He said, "Sir, I'm going insane" See I love an American beauty But nobody here understands So he looked to the sky with resentment in his eyes And said, "Lord, why am I in Japan?" Lord why am I in Japan? He told me a story about yesterday How he walked in the search of a friend But nobody came to his rescue So he came to his bitter end He pulled me close and said "They all stopped and stared As I walked down the street alone And nobody knew my name Nobody knew my name" I said, "Young man I know where you're going And young man I know where you've been But I've been in this land for a lifetime, it seems, And I'm never to come back again No, I'm never to come back again So I turned and I gave him my blessing And I left him alone in the rain But I had to just stop and laugh at myself Still nobody knows my name Nobody knows my name
