Endless Time

(アルバム： How Is It That I Should Look At the Stars - 2022)

It's only the end of an endless time
I wake up in my own bed, the curtains open wide
To let in what light the sky has to offer today

It's only the end of an endless time
They don't put that in the paper, you won't hear it on the news
But we knew
It's just like a sunset about to begin

Maybe at first, you can't believe your eyes
The sky all lit with colour and light

It's just the same, as right before you left
We would stay up late, your head on my chest

We were still in love, and the sun went on making flowers from the mud
We could walk out on the street and buy roses from Spain
Lemons and persimmons in December rain

All of our lives it had been that way
But it's only the end of an endless time
They don't put that in the paper you won't read it in the news
You have to use your eyes

And it's so painful how everybody lies
Nobody tells it straight
They try so hard not to meet your gaze
We can still walk out on the street and buy champagne grapes
Strawberries and lilies in November rain
It never occurred to us to have to pay

But it's only the end of an endless time
We laughed so much we wore lines around our eyes
You can see it in that picture of us from long ago how we changed
And it happened so slowly, we couldn't even say
I gotta find that picture, I want to look again
I used to think that I could see everything that met my eyes
