Tokyo Rosie - Strawbs

作词：Dave Cousins

作曲：Dave Cousins

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

Fair as my Tokyo Rosie

The blossom has fallen before the west wind

The butterfly lies with its silken wings pinned

Alone in the temple the lovers rejoice

And sing to each other with one single voice

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

my Tokyo Rosie

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

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

My Tokyo Rosie

Rosie

Rosie
