Lyrics
Verse 1
In a desert town, the moon is laughing
Where past and future quietly intertwine
Lonely humans, their foolish dreams
The One Who Watches Time just gazes on
⸻
Pre-Chorus
On the fraying threads of fate
A distant voice quietly resonates
⸻
Chorus
Faraway city, where the stars are falling
Cross the sleepless night, and keep moving on
To the distant horizon, with you beside me
Even sorrow turns into a story we can tell
⸻
Verse 2
Time keeps spinning, endlessly flowing
The same mistakes repeat again and again
In the eyes of the One Who Watches Time
A faint warmth glimmers in the distance
⸻
Chorus
Faraway city, where the stars are falling
Even through lonely nights, push forward
To the distant horizon, with you beside me
Drawing a tomorrow that no one has yet seen
⸻
Outro
Faraway city…
At the edge of time and space, we shall meet again
