What I Saw Songtext
von Maia Hirasawa

He picked me up in his blue old Volvo
With a calm face and his girlfriend on his left side
She went back to her own apartment
Wasn′t she afraid like I was?

We watched the news on your black and white TV
I learned some new words like genpatsu and fire
I felt safer than I did in twenty hours
While we saw the...

We saw the whole world explode!
And you're always on my mind
You′re always on my mind
When the world explodes

And you're always on my mind
You're always on my mind
When the world explodes
When the world explodes


I tried to call once in an hour
While I saw the lights moving side to side
I didn′t have any clean clothes to put on
So I went through the park and home

I didn′t speak about my friends at all
I didn't know if you were alive at all
There was no gas left in his blue old car
And it felt like I was running from a war
When the whole world explode!

And you′re always on my mind
You're always on my mind
When the world explodes

You′re always on my mind
When the world explodes

Standing on the airport
Finally leaving everything that has been me
The ground was suddenly our biggest enemy
Oh our country
The ground was suddenly our biggest enemy
And I was too afraid to see
