lyrics

By the bright lights of Tokyo
strangers said more to me without words
than anyone ever has back home.

By the bright lights of Tokyo
I looked out to see city that reached to the horizon
out the window.

By the bright lights of Tokyo
I saw English signs everywhere, but
didn't hear a single word of it though.

I've never been sad to leave a place I don't know
but leaving you felt like leaving behind a piece of my soul.

Though all I love climbs into a machine as it grows,
leaving you felt like leaving behind a piece of my soul.

By the brights lights of Tokyo
the friendliest smiles I've seen in my life
bow as each other come and go.

The people of Tokyo,
they welcomed me in with mesmerising
cherry blossoms and colourful shows.

I've never been sad to leave a place I don't know
but leaving you felt like leaving behind a piece of my soul.

Though all I love climbs into a machine as it grows,
leaving you felt like leaving behind a piece of my soul.

To the people of tokyo

I've never been sad to leave a place I don't know
but leaving you felt like leaving behind a piece of my soul.

Though all I love climbs into a machine as it grows,
leaving you felt like leaving behind a piece of my soul.

My time there was short, yes I know.
I probably only experienced the surface like a photo
