いつまでも追いかけているあなたの残像を

夢にみる横顔はあの頃のままで 背の高い草並みに走り去って消えた

思い出す記憶をかけわけ後追うぼくわ もどかしくも息を切らして最後は届かずに

遠く

何年前のことでしょう

二度と戻れないあの場所に 置いてきしまったぼくの心さ

もしも夢ならば 取り戻せないのなら この気持ちはどうして伝えればいいの?

いまだに追いかはてるあの日の残像を

悲しみに明け暮れながらも今 あなたなき世界でぼは生きるよ

English
Eternally chasing your afterimage.

In my dream I see the side of your face as it is in those days vanished, running away into the back of ordinary tall grass.

I chase a distant reason to start recalling that memory. I arrive at the conclusion out o that place. My heart intent on leaving behind a "damn it".

If it's a dream then I don't want to get it back. That's why it's alright to convey this feeling, right?

Even now I still chase that sunshine's afterimage.

Both morning and evening also this present, I'm in sorrow. In a world without you, I'll try to live on.
