Lyrics
どこまで離れてゆくの
言葉を交わすこともできない
さよなら愛しい人よ
(戯れ)と静けさを(詰めて/繋いで)
もう独り 一人だけ
あの遠い海の明かりのように揺れて漂う
何も変わらない
眠ってしまいたいけど
溢れる涙がもう止まらない
もう独り 一人だけ
あの遠い街の明かりのように揺れて彷徨う
何も変わら...
How far will we go?
We can't even exchange words.
Goodbye, my love.
(Playfulness) and silence (filled/connected)
Alone now, all alone.
Swaying and drifting like the lights of that faraway sea.
Nothing has changed.
I want to fall asleep, but
The tears that are overflowing can't stop.
Alone now, all alone.
Swaying and wandering like the lights of that faraway city.
Nothing has changed...
