Straightener - Toneless Twilight:




I still remember the sun light staring back of us
And painting our shadows on the green grass of runway
I have noticed the air ship holding our gaze
The time has synchronized

かさねあう　ゆびは　そこに　ある　ことを
kasaneau yubi wa soko ni aru koto o
くりかえす　こきゅうは　かわり　いく　ことを
kurikaesu kokyuu wa kawari iku koto o
たしかめ　あおう　きずつけ　あっても
tashikame ao u kizutsuke atte mo

The clear sky weeps sincerely
I don't stay in my past
It's time to say my last farewell to your ship
きみが　ながす　なみだは　かれた　こころを　つたう
kimi ga nagasu namida wa kare ta kokoro o tsutau

Toneless Twilight
Toneless Highlight
てに　とどかない　あしたへ
te ni todoka nai ashita e

I still remember the moon light staring back of us
And painting our shadows on the white snow of rail track
つみのない　ひかり　すくいのない　かげ
tsumi no nai hikari sukui no nai kage

The deep sea smiles silently
You're not mired in your past
It's time to say your last farewell to my train
きみが　うたう　ことばは　ひえた　くうきを　つたう
kimi ga utau kotoba wa hie ta kuuki o tsutau

Toneless Twilight
Toneless Highlight
てに　とどかせる　あすを
te ni todoka seru asu o
とどけたい
todoke tai
きみに　あいたい
kimi ni ai tai
Toneless Highlight
