In the schoolyard after the rain, I remembered yesterday's fireworks The faraway look on your face back then; I could still smell summer on the wind After fall comes and winter comes And I fall into a long sleep Riding the clouds, riding the wind, I'll go far away--there's no reward for me here In the schoolyard where blossoms flutter, I remembered yesterday's sunset How dignified and transparent you were back then; a trace of summer remained on your cheeks When spring comes and I'm waiting for summer, Having awoken from my deep sleep, Becoming water, becoming flowers, I'll look at the sky, not needing any words There's no such thing as gods And "dreams come true" is a total lie So let's quit work and school and everything If it's natural to forget Then don't put the memories into words Seal them in your mouth so you don't forget them When summer passes as I'm waiting for you And I become able to see the end, Riding the clouds, riding the wind It's just like sleeping, but... After fall comes and winter comes And I fall into a deep sleep Riding the clouds, riding the wind I'll go far away There's no reward for me here I just want to live with you
