Lyrics

Tokyo

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Feels like I've been away for a thousand years

So tired of these airports and souvenirs

I shiver in the night and I think of you

I stroll the boulevards

I stare up at the stars

And wish they all aligned

You keep me on my toes

And this is how it goes

You never leave my mind

Are you having fun yet

I'll send you the sunset

I love the most when I'm in Tokyo

I'll mail down the moon-line

It follow the shoreline

On down the coast, when I'm in Tokyo

Oh, can't sleep the whole night through

Oh, I'm missing you

I'm thinking it out loud

I wish I could reach out

And hold you close, when I'm in Tokyo

I wander all alone in the pouring rain

Line-shocking on the wind, in the bullet train

I shiver in the night and I think of you

I stroll the boulevards

I stare up at the stars

And wish they all aligned

You keep me on my toes

And this is how it goes

You never leave my mind

Are you having fun yet

I'll send you the sunset

I love the most when I'm in Tokyo

I'll mail down the moon-line

It follow the shoreline

On down the coast, when I'm in Tokyo

Oh, can't sleep the whole night through

Oh, I'm missing you

I'm thinking it out loud

I wish I could reach out

And hold you close, when I'm in Tokyo

I stroll the boulevards

I stare up at the stars

And wish they all aligned

You keep me on my toes

And this is how it goes

You never leave my mind

Are you having fun yet

I'll send you the sunset

I love the most

I'll mail down the moon-line

It follow the shoreline

On down the coast

Oh, can't sleep the whole night through

Oh, I'm missing you

I'm thinking it out loud

I wish I could reach out

And hold you close when I'm in Tokyo

When I'm in Tokyo, (when I'm in Tokyo)

When I'm in Tokyo, (when I'm in Tokyo)

When I'm in Tokyo, (when I'm in Tokyo)

When I'm in Tokyo, (when I'm in Tokyo)
