I Saw A Young Man By A Telephone
He Was Sitting Alone In The Rain
I Said, "Hey, Young Man What You Doing Here?"
He Said, "Sir, I'm Going Insane"
See I Love An American Beauty
But Nobody Here Understands
So He Looked To The Sky With Resentment In His Eyes
And Said, "Lord, Why Am I In Japan?"
Lord Why Am I In Japan?
He Told Me A Story About Yesterday
How He Walked In The Search Of A Friend
But Nobody Came To His Rescue
So He Came To His Bitter End
He Pulled Me Close And Said
"They All Stopped And Stared
As I Walked Down The Street Alone
And Nobody Knew My Name
Nobody Knew My Name"
I Said, "Young Man I Know Where You're Going
And Young Man I Know Where You've Been
But I've Been In This Land For A Lifetime, It Seems,
And I'm Never To Come Back Again
No, I'm Never To Come Back Again
So I Turned And I Gave Him My Blessing
And I Left Him Alone In The Rain
But I Had To Just Stop And Laugh At Myself
Still Nobody Knows My Name
Nobody Knows My Name
