Japan Lyrics - Live Stages - Vertical Horizon

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
