Står Vid Slussen Missar Sista Bussen
Börjar Traska Hemåt Det Är Kyligt Och Grått.
Vinden Viner Ingen Sol Som Skiner
Allt Är Bara Regnigt Och Vått
Så Jag Börjar Drömma Mig Bort...

Tokyo Jag Tänker På Dig Nu, Snart Är Jag På Väg
Aha...

Jag Längtar Att Få Se Dig
Tokyo Jag Tänker På Dig Nu, Jag Tar Steg För Steg
Aha...
Mot Allt Du Har Att Ge Mig, Det Bor En Geisha I Mig

I Sagor Och Sägner, Har Jag Hört Ditt Namn
Du Finns I En Drömvärld
I Soluppgångens Land

Tokyo Jag Tänker På Dig Nu, Snart Är Jag På Väg

Spröda Troner Körsbärsträdens Kronor
Vajar 'ver Folk Som Har Sitt Leende Kvar
I Antiken Stod Du För Mystiken
Du Behåller Allt Det Som Var
Och Din Framtid Lyser Så Klar...

Ååh...
Tokyo Jag Tänker På Dig Nu, Snart Är Jag På Väg
Aha...
Jag Längtar Att Få Se Dig
Tokyo Jag Tänker På Dig Nu, Jag Tar Steg För Steg
Aha...

Och Fast Vägen Verkar Lång Så Ska Jag Gå Med Lätta Steg
Så Sayonara Nu Är Jag På Väg
