Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō?, "Eastern Capital") [toːkʲoː], English /ˈtoʊki.oʊ/; officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都, Tōkyō-to?), is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan. Tokyo is the capital of Japan, the center of the Greater Tokyo Area, and the largest metropolitan area of the world. It is the seat of the Japanese government and the Imperial Palace, and the home of the Japanese Imperial Family. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府, Tōkyō-fu?) and the city of Tokyo (東京市, Tōkyō-shi?).
The Tokyo Metropolitan government administers the 23 special wards of Tokyo (each governed as a city), which cover the area that was the city of Tokyo, as well as 39 municipalities in the western part of the prefecture and the two outlying island chains. The population of the special wards is over 8 million people, with the total population of the prefecture exceeding 13 million. The prefecture is part of the world's most populous metropolitan area with upwards of 35 million people and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy with a GDP of US$1.479 trillion at purchasing power parity in 2008, ahead of New York City metropolitan area, which ranks second on the list. The city hosts 47 of the Fortune Global 500 companies, the highest amount of any city.
Cold wind's blowing, confusions growing
Signs showing nobody's home
Peer through your window, Nothing but an empty soul
Where'd you move, Where'd you go
Am I too late, to stop this
I'm in disbelief, I keep knocking
But the carving in that old oak tree, said forever you and me
The one thing I believed in has failed me
When everyone was looking on the outside in
I got to know you behind closed curtains
And be the one to make sure that you're safe and warm
How could you leave me, all alone, in the cold, at the door
Without a key to your heart
How could you leave me, no goodbye, boy I'm gone, movin on and now my love won't survive
Where can I mail off and send this, pent up emotion, cause you don't live here anymore
How could you leave me, all alone in the cold at the door
Without a key to your
Heart's pounding, yelling loudly, throwing rocks at your window
Trying to kick it, put my, shoulder into it and once more tried the handle
And the telephone's disconnected, no more electricity, I'm assuming
With our prints in the cement, remember when we were six
Wish we could be there again
When everyone was looking on the outside in
I got to know you behind closed curtains
And be the one to make sure that you're safe and warm
How could you leave me, all alone, in the cold, at the door
Without a key to your heart
How could you leave me, no goodbye, boy I'm gone, movin on and now my love won't survive
Where can I mail off and send this, pent up emotion, cause you don't live here anymore
How could you leave me, all alone in the cold at the door
Without a key to your heart
You said you'd never leave, this home feels so empty
Tell me where did you go, go
Never saw a moving sign, just locked out wondering why
Your heart don't live here no more, How could you
How could you leave me, all alone, in the cold, at the door
Without a key to your heart
How could you leave me, no goodbye, boy I'm gone, movin on and now my love won't survive
Where can I mail off and send this, pent up emotion, cause you don't live here anymore
How could you leave me, all alone in the cold at the door
