Divine night
Wipe away footsteps
So the wolves would not find
Me seated upon the river
Gazing toward a disk
Surely you can feel
My consent on your presence
Lingering in the depths of life
An enigmatic secret
I am yours
To drown in fiery embers
I am yours
To be secreted
Behind a screen of dreams
But what am I
Compared to your gracefulness
Blooming upon the painted sky
I’m just a mere human
Isolated in a world of dullness
Staring every single night
Wishing I were you
So charming, so calm
That even the bitter winds
Can never shake you
Away from home
Wipe away footsteps
So the wolves would not find
Me seated upon the river
Gazing toward a disk
Surely you can feel
My consent on your presence
Lingering in the depths of life
An enigmatic secret
I am yours
To drown in fiery embers
I am yours
To be secreted
Behind a screen of dreams
But what am I
Compared to your gracefulness
Blooming upon the painted sky
I’m just a mere human
Isolated in a world of dullness
Staring every single night
Wishing I were you
So charming, so calm
That even the bitter winds
Can never shake you
Away from home
