Japan Lyrics

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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/japan-lyrics-vertical-horizon.html ] "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
