Kimonos and Parasols
Lyrics and music by Mason Lucas

おさななじみ よろしく おねがいします

Waking up under the gun
On and island in the sun
The empire has come undone
And it's requiem's unsung

Catching fish on a soldiers' wage
Long since unpaid
In chains of paper cranes
Across cemeteries

こんどこの はやく

Rain so lightly falls
On kimonos and parasols
The splendor of it all
Is a distant echoed call

Banners turn to rags
Bunting and bandstands
And in some distant land
Historians shake hands

Maybe I'll get some news today
That it's over very much over
And I can go home

But I'm home as I'll ever be
Far away they've forgotten me
Like a castaway at sea
Fishing for two or three
Or our glorious military
Unshaven and elderly
So I'll serve my family
Helmets of soup and tea

Maybe I'll get some news today
That it's over very much over
And I can go home

おっかれさま です
