Well I saw a young man by a telephone
He was sitting alone in the rain
I said hey young man what you doing there
And he said sir I'm going insane
He said sir I'm going insane

You see I love an American beauty
But nobody here understands
Then he looked to the sky with resentment in his eyes
And said Lord why am I in Japan
Oh Lord why am I in Japan

Then he told me a story about yesterday
When he walked in the search of a friend
But nobody came to his rescue
And he came to his bitter end

He pulled me close and said they all stopped and stared
As I walked down the street all alone
Nobody knew my name
Nobody knew my name

I said young man I know where you're going
And young man I know where you've been
For I've been in this land for a lifetime it seems
And I'm never to come back again
No I'm never to come back again

So I turned and I gave him my blessing
And I left him alone in the rain
But I had to just stop and laugh at myself
Still nobody knows my name

Nobody knows my name...
