strawbs – tokyo rosie lyrics
the willows stand on guard in the dark
where lovers are rowing alone in the park.
in awe of each other they make a mistake,
and find they must spend one more night on the lake.
and i don’t care if anyone knows,
there’s no-one so fair as my tokyo rose.
i don’t care if anyone knows,
there’s no-one so fair as my tokyo rosie.
the blossom has fallen before the west wind;
the b-tterfly lies with its silken wings pinned;
alone in the temple the lovers rejoice
and sing to each other with one single voice.
i wear my silk kimono black,
get you monkey off my back.
no matter where the west wind blows,
you’ll never find a fallen rose.
the flowers of heaven are roses in bloom;
the east wind turns west in the walls of my room.
i build my defence in the palace of sin,
the lovers make home and the loser must win.
