Tokyo Songtext
von Linus from the Stars

Tokyo

Once upon a winter night
I fled the bitter cold and alpine heights
Set a course for JST
And dreamy city fantasies
We laughed and smiled all ′til dark
One lovely afternoon in Ueno Park
And when the rain kept pouring down
We ran between arcades in Electric Town

Though it's time to move along
Our story carries on
Such a cliché, so bundle up and seize the day

Tokyo
Sayonara, I love you so
Tokyo
Feels like we barely said hello
Shooting stars across the sky, waving goodbye
Tokyo
It′s been magical but now I have to go


Now I have to go

Tokyo

I'll admit, I think of home
Charmed by the beauty of the evening glow
And though I miss the Northern air
I fear the polar outerwear
In retrospect I'm thankful for
That awkward second date on the city shore
Barely missed the late-night train
And blew our pocket change on a toy crane

Though it′s time to move along
Our story carries on
Heaven is smiling now
We′ll find our way somehow


Tokyo
Sayonara, I love you so
Tokyo
Feels like we barely said hello
Shooting stars across the sky, waving goodbye
Tokyo
It's been magical but now I have to go

Tokyo
