Dawn and Fireflies
I'm charmed by the pale moon
So I don't even see my feet in the darkness
The stars in the far night sky turn blurry
Before I know I stumbled and fell down
I can't find what I want to do
So I hang my head down low and pretend to be in a hurry
They laugh at me when I fell down
But I pretend not to notice the laughter
I draw a morning with a formless song
And I'll go beyond the shallow, shallow summer days
I see your palms, they are not cold to me,
In the dawn sky and the dawn fireflies
I've come to hate so many things
And I feel as if I were a mere dirty spot
So I want to fly to the other side of the earth,
To an unmanned station,
To meet the me of yesterday
Every time my chest aches and I hang my head down
You go far ahead of me
Let me ruin us, the dreamers
Goodbye to the flower of fire blooming in the night sky of yesterday
I look at the flowers reflected on the water
I look at the moon swaying on the water
If I draw the sky where summer never comes,
I'm afraid you'll laugh at me
I saw the moon and the sky in my dream at the break of dawn
If I could breathe my breath without seeing the coming of the morning,
I'll go beyond the far, far summer days
I see your palms, they are not cold to me,
In the faint morning glow
Now I'm in the town where summer is yet to come
Ah, the dark blue night sky and the fireflies
