Okinawa, 1944 Video (MV)

You wake up in New York City and pray the whiskey and your problems never meet
With a silver edge on living you sailed away to the hills to find your peace

Oh but golden lies and empty smiles
Purple dreams that hold themselves on yesterdays
Don't hold a place
When it's only you

You were my one love, baby, now you're just another ghost that's trapped in my room
Selling me all these empty pictures where the figures and the faces were all that I knew

Oh you packed your bags and shut the door
Sailed off with nothing left to believe
And a hope in a distant shore

Sent a picture in a letter addressed to you
I couldn't know if you'd even remember who I was
I wrote I loved you and I do
But just like time has passed I'm sure that you have too
Now am I too late
Or is there still time time to find you love
In a dream I'm standing by a blossom tree watching as the flowers float away
And then I see your face

Oh baby, look across the water
Can you see me
Do you ever miss the feeling
Of being home
When sooner or later
When you're lonely
You know that you just have to pick up the phone
And I'll be there

We pick up in Okinawa, you say that the years have been good to me
With a smile across the table, I know who you're always gonna be

Well hours pass, we stumble home
Kiss outside and shut the door
