Don't you know I would've married you?
If my commanding officer allowed
But he said, "No, no, no, no, no sir
Can't be marrying a local now"
So we went our separate ways
I said I'd write to you with pen
And paper every day
I never saw that girl again
Hideko, where'd you go?
Don't you know you'll miss me when I go away?
I know that I'll miss you when I'm gone again
I know now, I'll find you somehow, someday
Yeah I've been searching
Since 1952
There isn't anybody out there
In my book, that comes close to you
Hideko, where'd you go?
Bamboo walls, bamboo ceiling
A long time ago, in a land called Tokyo
I met a girl named Kawara, Hideko
Where'd you go?
Hideko, where'd you go?
