  1. Lone, unknown, I'm moving on through the night seams

    Lone, unknown, I'm moving on through the night seams

  2. I could view and espy, on a train wavering

    I could view and espy, on a train wavering

  3. Flowing on and moving backwards was a scenery

    Flowing on and moving backwards was a scenery

  4. And so lonely, I watched it as I sat

    And so lonely, I watched it as I sat

  5. As I sat

    As I sat

  6. The early afternoon sun in the sky up above is stained

    The early afternoon sun in the sky up above is stained

  7. By an orange hue

    By an orange hue

  8. And I set eyes on the growing indigo, it's crushing that sunset view

    And I set eyes on the growing indigo, it's crushing that sunset view

  9. I kept track of the final light that I pursued

    I kept track of the final light that I pursued

  10. My eyes chased it as if I were lamenting

    My eyes chased it as if I were lamenting

  11. Today's bye-bye, that is why

    Today's bye-bye, that is why

  12. I step out to cast away tomorrow, and leap

    I step out to cast away tomorrow, and leap

  13. Dashing out to escape it all

    Dashing out to escape it all

  14. Got to keep on moving until I reach where my one-way ticket can go

    Got to keep on moving until I reach where my one-way ticket can go

  15. Don't even have a place where I belong

    Don't even have a place where I belong

  16. Nowhere that I'd call home

    Nowhere that I'd call home

  17. Now, in the night, oh, just leave me there

    Now, in the night, oh, just leave me there

  18. Oh, leave me there

    Oh, leave me there

  19. Suddenly, I recognize out the window an unlighted scenery

    Suddenly, I recognize out the window an unlighted scenery

  20. And into sight, I noticed in the dark the ocean has appeared

    And into sight, I noticed in the dark the ocean has appeared

  21. Decided on a whim

    Decided on a whim

  22. There, I got off, arriving at a town beside the sea

    There, I got off, arriving at a town beside the sea

  23. Wave sounds were echoing as to guide me

    Wave sounds were echoing as to guide me

  24. As I'm walking, they lead

    As I'm walking, they lead

  25. It's almost like somebody calling, drawing me near

    It's almost like somebody calling, drawing me near

  26. I got closer

    I got closer

  27. The ocean, wide and clear

    The ocean, wide and clear

  28. And no one could interfere

    And no one could interfere

  29. So, forevermore, I will leave my body over here

    So, forevermore, I will leave my body over here

  30. And while I was thinking it all over

    And while I was thinking it all over

  31. In front of me then, out of the blue

    In front of me then, out of the blue

  32. Oh, there you were

    Oh, there you were

  33. Right under the moonlight tonight

    Right under the moonlight tonight

  34. Your skin so pale and so light

    Your skin so pale and so light

  35. Wearing a white one-piece in view

    Wearing a white one-piece in view

  36. Tell me why you came and what you hope to see?

    Tell me why you came and what you hope to see?

  37. Question unforeseen, was a surprise to me

    Question unforeseen, was a surprise to me

  38. So, at a loss for words, came out of me

    So, at a loss for words, came out of me

  39. "To observe, the sea"

    "To observe, the sea"

  40. You took out something I did not get to see yet

    You took out something I did not get to see yet

  41. And then showed me one slightly old firework set

    And then showed me one slightly old firework set

  42. I observed as she was standing over the concrete

    I observed as she was standing over the concrete

  43. And saw her feet, and there, barefoot she was

    And saw her feet, and there, barefoot she was

  44. Oh, today is the day I have decided I'd end it all, that's why

    Oh, today is the day I have decided I'd end it all, that's why

  45. I'm sure that I have come closer to that realm in that moment

    I'm sure that I have come closer to that realm in that moment

  46. And it's why I managed to catch sight of you

    And it's why I managed to catch sight of you

  47. We met on that night

    We met on that night

  48. So, it's just me and you, in this place

    So, it's just me and you, in this place

  49. The fireworks, we took them out

    The fireworks, we took them out

  50. Now got, now got

    Now got, now got

  51. Heating flames a little bit nearer, they do not seem to ignite

    Heating flames a little bit nearer, they do not seem to ignite

  52. You figured the cause I came to be in this area

    You figured the cause I came to be in this area

  53. Assessed and guessed it right

    Assessed and guessed it right

  54. Then you said I should not proceed with it repeatedly

    Then you said I should not proceed with it repeatedly

  55. And showed a serious look as you spoke it out (la-la)

    And showed a serious look as you spoke it out (la-la)

  56. I know, but

    I know, but

  57. So, all at once, right in front of our hands

    So, all at once, right in front of our hands

  58. A spark has suddenly lit up

    A spark has suddenly lit up

  59. Naturally, we both got together and started yelling

    Naturally, we both got together and started yelling

  60. "Oh, look, it lit up!"

    "Oh, look, it lit up!"

  61. With a gleaming light as bright as ever

    With a gleaming light as bright as ever

  62. The fireworks were burning as a sharp sound kept ringing out

    The fireworks were burning as a sharp sound kept ringing out

  63. Kept ringing out

    Kept ringing out

  64. You could see the light fading so fast

    You could see the light fading so fast

  65. We couldn't keep up and take time to watch it slow

    We couldn't keep up and take time to watch it slow

  66. Though not wanting to waste it, followed it until

    Though not wanting to waste it, followed it until

  67. Fully blended with the night

    Fully blended with the night

  68. In the train, when I was looking out of that window

    In the train, when I was looking out of that window

  69. Saw that final sun, had those same regrets inside

    Saw that final sun, had those same regrets inside

  70. Went after that light

  71. Yeah, I'm thinking, hm

    Yeah, I'm thinking, hm

  72. Actually

  73. When tonight is over, and the dark subsides

    When tonight is over, and the dark subsides

  74. Somewhere far, will you then vanish way beyond the tides

    Somewhere far, will you then vanish way beyond the tides

  75. Running from the night veil of complete darkness

    Running from the night veil of complete darkness

  76. I woke up to shining rays of morning brightness

    I woke up to shining rays of morning brightness

  77. Next to me, I took a look, and as if it were the most normal thing

    Next to me, I took a look, and as if it were the most normal thing

  78. You're there, sleeping by my side

    You're there, sleeping by my side
