lyrics

The past floods my mind
And the warm wind is rising
Shining like an old Kimono
A geisha reclining
Some rice wine to die in
All of thats an old kimono

Cool bamboo shall never sway no more
A temple once was here
In 1854
Mist of a thousand years
Bow away blow clear
The future it is here
Cherry blossom
Disappear

In such a world
Why do the winds they roar
Why does the ocean scream
Why do the waves make war
A tear hits an eye
As the sun king says goodbye
As the samurai can fly
As the zeros hit Shanghai

The past floods my mind
And the warm wind is rising
Shining like an old Kimono
A geisha reclining
Some rice wine to die in
All of thats an old kimono
