22 - 菅野洋子 (かんの ようこ)/Ryo Nagano

Wake up

Wake up in the morning dew

Peppermint fields I watch the birds fly

Darkness disappears into light

The lightest feeling dawns with the new day

Floating

Looking back now with perfect eyes

If only I could just save this sight

But it slips away

Into the breaking waves

And slowly sinks back into the sand

A bird is singing now

A calm wind pushes through

The pines

I can see

The color of her hair

The tears in her eyes

Waving goodbye

So goodbye

We must say goodbye

We must say goodbye

We must say goodbye

Wake up

Wake up in an older world

Strangers smile for no reason at all

Cotton candy clouds in the sky

Playing with the shapes as they pass me by

Looking back now with perfect eyes

If only I could just save this sight

But they fall away

Into the rush of days

Another life is calling my name
