Merry Christmas from Japan
Walking the streets with a drink in my hand
And the snowfall at my feet
How I hope that your work has brought you some peace
Merry Christmas from Japan
Nobody here has a clue how I amOh, I wonder if you'll ever, ever know
How I've tried to reach you, tried to reach you
You don't know me
I threw a bottle out to sea
That's a message that you'll never, ever read
Washed straight back with the trash on Venice BeachMerry Christmas from L.A.
I said I'd return but you told me to say
Haven't had much luck so far
But I've been to the hills and I've borrowed a car
Merry Christmas from the stars
Nobody here has a clue who you areOh, I wonder if you'll ever, ever know
How I've tried to reach you, tried to reach you (She says)
You don't know me
I threw a bottle out to sea
That's a message that you'll never, ever read
Washed straight back with the trash on Venice Beach
Is it lonely where you are?
Are your feet as cold as ever?
As you trip the light fantastic are you fearful of the stars?
I guess it wouldn't help to know
If I'd spent the night alone
I could have found a phone and called you up to say:Merry Christmas from Japan
Merry Christmas from Japan
Merry Christmas wherever you are
