Clouds heavy like lead
   Above houses, streets without destination through the labyrinth
   Where shall I go
   Where am I at home, the time of illusions is over
  
   I close my eyes
   What I miss is you, only you
   But you live in another world
  
   I'm waiting in the darkness
   Every heartbeat is an S.O.S.
   I'm calling you but Japan is far
  
   Oh, Japan is far, so far away
   At the other end of time
   And what separates us
   Is more than just one sea
   Japan is far away, too far
   But I want you here and now
   Oh, I need you but Japan is far
   Japan is far away
  
   Neonlight on naked skin
   Silhouettes of foreign people who pass me by
   Shall I cry out what I feel
   Shall I send my dreams to exile to see them nevermore again
  
   I close my eyes
   What I miss is you, only you
  
   I'm waiting in the darkness
   Every heartbeat is an S.O.S.
   I'm calling you but Japan is far
  
   Oh, Japan is far, so far away
   At the other end of time
   And what separates us
  
   Is more than just one sea
   Japan is far away, too far
   But I want you here and now
   Oh, I need you but Japan is far away
