In January of this year my Japanese "sister", Misako, contacted me while floods were raging in Brisbane out of her concern for us. I am now trying to contact her in Tokyo following the devastation of the earthquake and tsunami yesterday, the 11 th of March 2011. To the beautiful and gracious people of Japan I can only say as Misako said to me......... TAKE CARE YOU! **************************************** "Stopover Tokyo" was recorded by New World following their Reunion Concert on the River Stage of World Expo '88 in their home town of Brisbane, Queensland. Music and Lyrics by Ross La Vel STOPOVER TOKYO hands on the water and soft kimono move with the patience of oceans that flow move on the darkness so restless below i long to see you again lost in the cabin of this floating world lost in our dreams every boy every girl trying to sleep like a cat lying curled soon i'll be with you again Stopover Tokyo When do we land Sweet Sweet Misako Time's in your hand Stopover Tokyo When do we land Sweet Sweet Misako Time's in your hand sweet scent of springtime and blossoms so fair fall like the sunlight and rest in your hair fall like the starlight for dreamers to share hush, it's that old song again Stopover Tokyo When do we land Sweet Sweet Misako Time's in your hand wind from the north and the sun in the east drawing me where tide and motion have ceased drawing me where may the future bring peace then will i see you again? Stopover Tokyo.......
