Line Them Up
(English Lyrics by Fraser Anderson)
He took a long look, turned around and walked away
to where the sun will shine and the rain won't fall
It was all clear as if his hand had been turned over
he said, "line them up against the sky"
Why should I move a stone that hides my way?
How could I believe she's gone?
God only knows why I never took her there!
He took a deep breath and left
he walked out on his own
to where the streets all shine and the strain wont show
It was all so clear as if the clouds had just rolled over
he said, "line them up against the sky"
Why should I move a stone that hides my way?
How could I believe she's gone?
God only knows why I never took her there!
But then the door blew open wide
Smoke flew out and he fell inside
picked himself up from the ground
he said, "i never lost what I never found"
Why should I move a stone that hides my way?
How could I believe she's gone?
God only knows why I never took her there!
Why should I move a stone that hides my way?
How could I believe she's gone?
God only knows why I never took her there!
Original Japanese Lyrics Translation
The Unreachable Dream
(Music and Lyrics by Kazuo Zaitsu)
I always believed that there were things more important than money
Such as love and friendship
But in the end, money is everything
But in the end, money is everything
Then one that I really loved, is now beneath the sky far, far-away
A breeze whispers selfishly that she has found a new love
And that's why I need to have strength
And that's why I need to have strength
If you reach for the stars at night and search for an unreachable dream
You'll find me walking alone and carrying nothing but loneliness
But, in the end, I'm alive again today
But, in the end, I'm alive again today
