The fingertips feel cold, and spring has already come
A dream-like wind blows everywhere
This feeling seems different from usual, it’s welcome
Will tomorrow be a different day?
In the deep night left with shadows of darkness
The moon, the moon is brightening
A dream-like wind blows everywhere
This feeling seems different from usual, it’s welcome
Will tomorrow be a different day?
In the deep night left with shadows of darkness
The moon, the moon is brightening

Drawing light
As much as I take you out of me
The water in the tub overflows with lingering feelings
Sighs fill that space
When dawn comes
When I’m left alone
As much as I take you out of me
The water in the tub overflows with lingering feelings
Sighs fill that space
When dawn comes
When I’m left alone

Denying reality, even if I close my eyes
I see you, why do you linger
Leave me alone
