I'm listening.

Today is cool but the sunlight is shining down, walk with me In the bright afternoon, with me slowly for a moment With me with me for a while in the bright clear day In the neighborhood today let’s just walk around

Touch the wall and come with me and we’ll go to where the alley bends Turn around and follow it when the three-colored cat disappears

* Look at the trees in the sky and how the ivy twists and turns Clouds in the breeze go sailing and the afternoon start to drift away

We eat a rice ball and drink hot coffee with milk that we got from the market Standing by me You start to hum all at once in a voice that’s soft and low I want to know everything that I can ever know about you But you don’t tell me very much no not very much at all

* Flowers on the street would like to listen to everything we say Clouds in the breeze go sailing and the afternoon start to drift away

Let go off my hand and we’ll say goodbye while we’re still standing And then tonight give me a call when you get back home

The memories I buried in the snows The photos at the end capturing light You kissed me on my head and nose I wanted your smile to be bright

I saw myself leap up in your eyes But I wasn’t there in your mind I wished I could tell you lies But I wanted just to be kind

The blossoms fade and they disappear like breath in winter Taking the sunlight away I hesitate for a moment in mid air A frozen sparkling mind

Fading away and melting away and Fading away and melting away Melting away and away and then gone
