Lyrics
Alone at night with sleepless eyes
Feeling isolated and unable to sleep
The starlit sky don't seem to mind
The starry sky appears indifferent to the emotional state
A candle's burnin' a hundred years
A metaphorical candle has been burning for a long time
Like a baby cryin' a thousand tears
Comparing the longevity of a burning candle to a baby's prolonged crying
But it's been so long
A passage of time, possibly referring to a separation
And the days go on and on
Days continue to pass without change
A town is sleepin' across the sea
Reference to a distant town across the sea, existing only in memory
In a land that's only a memory
Implies a sense of nostalgia or longing for a place
A red sun's risin' as if to say
Describing a sunrise with a plea not to leave
"Don't ever leave me, don't go away"
Expressing a desire to stay connected with the place
But I gotta be strong
Emphasizing the need for strength in the face of challenges
As time goes on and on
Time continues to pass, reinforcing the need for strength
What can I do in dreams so blue
Pondering options in melancholic dreams
Where I see you
Referring to a place with emotional significance
My little Japan, my little Japan
Addressing the place as "My little Japan"
Morning's comin' through evening's rest
Mentioning the passage from morning to evening
I've tried my hardest, I've done my best
Expressing effort and dedication
Is it right to say to you
Pondering the appropriateness of expressing true feelings
What my spirit's calling for me to do?
Questioning whether to follow one's inner calling
But I can't be wrong
A commitment to staying true to oneself
I gotta go on and on
A determination to persist despite challenges
Along the way, I'll hope and pray
Expressing hope and prayers for a positive outcome
I can see the day
A vision of a future day when the desired outcome is achieved
I could be with you, my little Japan
Desire to be with "My little Japan"
I can be with you
Reiterating the desire to be present in that place
