Vertical Horizon - 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 "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
