Maiko

Each time the red sun goes out of the blue ocean
It gives me joy and sets my sad heart in motion
Stirring thoughts of Japan
That's where my courting and love began

Oh Maiko, you’re in my heart
I love you and I need you badly
I cannot live without your art

You're still a child; you smiled an innocent shy smile
You showed your make-up and elaborate hairstyle
Danced for me with a fan
I wish I had stayed with you in Japan

Oh Maiko ..

And in a teahouse tealeaves told all 'bout me
Policemen caught me; so you went home without me
People don't understand
I found me true love in a distant land

Oh Maiko ..
