Child in Time/Woman from Tokyo Lyrics

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll

If you been bad - Oh Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit oh by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes aahouh bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
Ooh ooh ooh...

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll

If you've been bad - Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes aahaah bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
Ooh ooh ooh...

Fly into the rising sun
Faces smiling everyone
Yeah she is a whole new tradition
Aoh I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me

Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in an eastern dream
Yeah she makes me feel like a river
Aoh that carries me away

My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me

But i'm at home and I... I just don't belong

So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Ooooooh...

Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in her city of light
Ooooooh...

Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah she turns me on like a fire
Aoh I get... high
My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me

My woman from Tokyo, she makes me see
My woman from Tokyo, she's so good to me

My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
