Lovers In Japan

Lovers keep on the road you're on

Runners until the race is run

Soldiers you've got to soldier on

Sometimes even the right is wrong



They are turning my head out

To see what I'm all about

Keeping my head down

To see what it feels like now

And I have no doubt

One day we're going to get out



Tonight maybe we're gonna run

Dreaming of the Osaka sun

Ohohohoh ohohohoh oh

Dreaming of when the morning comes



They are turning my head out

To see what I'm all about

Keeping my head down

To see what it feels like now

And I have no doubt

One day the sun will come out



Reign of love

I can't let go

To the sea I offer this heavy load 

Locust wind

Lift me up

I'm just a prisoner in a reign of love



Locust wind

Here I stop

How I wish I'd spoken up

To a reign of love



Reign of love by the church we're waiting

Reign of love on my knees go praying

How I wish I'd spoken up

Away get carried on a reign of love
