Aiko, geography has got the better of us again
I know you wanna go
And I am to be singing
To the tail of an aeroplane
So I fold these pieces of gold
Into animals so I can fashion a chain
That will bridge the gap accross these continents
Aiko, your fatherless smile has been summoned to other shores
There's a man over there with a gentleman's bow
Who invites you to take to the floor
Pack your traveling case
With your ribbons and lace
For his blood must be furnished with excellent taste
But it might burn a hole into your paper face
And so you run towards the things you haven't got
Just to say goodbye again
But do you think of me as he unlocks your knees
At the Terrace Garden?
Pretty pictures in the window blinds
Looking out looks so good with the winter behind
Like it is playing a banjo to a Tennessee line
And the reeds are like cowboys perfectly aligned
Does the sky over Tokyo know
How a river can flow like the stroke
Of a violin bow?
Like a hand will run across the milky sky
But you can take these trees
And this summer breeze
On this stupid looking day
And you can send it all to the Japanese
Now my love has gone away.
(Japanese verse) (?)
And if you see Aiko
Or Sayee
Let her know
That she dances in my dreams.

[G] Aiko, g[C]eography h[D]as got the b[G]etter of us a[C]gai[D]n
I know you[G] wanna go
And I a[C]m to be s[D]inging
To the t[G]ail of an aeropl[C]ane[D]
So I f[Em]old these pieces of go[A]ld
Into animals s[D]o I can fashion a cha[D7]in
That will bri[Em]dge the gap accross these c[A]ontine[D]nts
[G] Aiko, your fa[C]therless s[D]mile has been s[G]ummoned to other [C]shores[D]
There's a m[G]an over there with a g[C]entleman's b[D]ow
Who inv[G]ites you to take to the [C]floor[D]
Pack your tr[Em]aveling case
With your rib[A]bons and lace
For his bl[D]ood must be furnished with exc[D7]ellent taste
But it mi[Em]ght burn a hole into your p[A]aper [D]face
And so you r[Em]un towards the things y[Em]ou haven't got
Just to sa[A]y goodbye aga[D]in
But do you th[Em]ink of me as he unlo[Em]cks your knees
At the Te[A]rrace Gard[D]en?
[G] Pretty pictures in the w[C]indow bli[D]nds
Looking o[G]ut looks so good with the w[C]inter beh[D]ind
Like it is [G]playing a banjo to a T[C]ennessee li[D]ne
And the ree[G]ds are like cowboys pe[C]rfectly ali[D]gned
Does the s[Em]ky over Tokyo kn[A]ow
How a river can fl[D]ow like the stroke
Of a v[D7]iolin bow?
Like a h[Em]and will run across the mi[A]lky s[D]ky
But you can t[Em]ake these trees
And th[Em]is summer breeze
On this stu[A]pid looking d[D]ay
And you can s[Em]end it all to the [Em]Japanese
Now my lo[A]ve has gone aw[D]ay.
(Japanese verse) (?)
[Em] [A] [D]
[Em] [A] [D]
And if you s[Em]ee Ai[A]ko
Or Saye[D]e [D7]
Let her kn[Em]ow
That she dan[A]ces in my drea[D]ms.
