Lyrics

You may find me… 夢

Call me softly… 君

Still I wait for you,

the twilight sea is calm

Evening silence, fading light,

夕なぎ carries time

You may… 夢

Call me… 君

Forever… 遠ければ

I know this fire inside of me

Come not, come not 来ぬ人を

まつほの浦に

Burning like the salt in flames,

身もこがれつつ

I’m waiting, waiting — 君よ

Shadows drift along,

the waves are whispering low

If tomorrow never comes,

my heart will still aglow

You may… 夢

Call me… 君

Forever… 遠ければ

I know this longing endlessly

Come not, come not 来ぬ人を

まつほの浦に

Burning like the salt in flames,

身もこがれつつ

I’m waiting, waiting — 君よ

In dreams I see you — 夢

呼ぶ声は fading through

Call my name, 君よ

Still I burn, 身もこがれつつ

Come not, come not 来ぬ人を

まつほの浦に

夕なぎ whispers endlessly

身もこがれつつ

I’m waiting, waiting — 君よ

いつまでも
