This a a song about a lady from Japan. She sacrificed a lot for a new life in another land. Things did not turn out the way it was meant to. Now she is trapped in a world that this not her home. Somewhere out of this came a song.

Lyrics
Key: Am
Progression:
[Verse 1]
In the Orchard Road where the
the cherry blossoms grow
From the snow-capped mountains to the streets of Tokyo
tearing down the walls she closes her eyes
Shadows in the night but where does
she go?
[Verse 2]
Neon signs are are flickering like ghosts in the rain
Taxi lights flashing down a midnight lane
Steam of the city, she closes her eyes
Tokyo is calling, but the distance is wide
[Chorus]
Where do you go when your mind slips away?
Do you walk through Shinjuku at the break of the day
Are you lost in the crowd where the neon lights shine?
Or drifting through echoes just lost in time
Taking you home to a place called tokyo road
Taking you home to a place called tokyo road
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
humming a tune I don’t think i understand
A song of another life from a another land
burdened by a conscience and the weighing of the truth
She sacrifices everything for some common good
[Chorus]
Where do you go when your mind slips away?
Do you walk through Shinjuku at the break of the day?
Are you lost in the crowd where the neon lights shine?
Or drifting through the echoes just lost in time
Taking you home to a place called tokyo road
Taking you home to a place called tokyo road
[Bridge]
one day soon she will take me there
autumn leaves are falling everywhere
I hope someday that she tells me that she cares
home is in the heart taken you can take it anywhere
[Chorus]
Where do you go when your mind slips away?
Do you walk through Shinjuku at the break of the day?
Are you lost in the crowd where the neon lights shine?
Or drifting through echoes just lost in time
Taking you home to a place called tokyo road
Taking you home to a place called tokyo road
[Outro]
In the Orchard Road where the cherry blossoms grow…
She walks through the night, but where does she go……
