They're warm aren't they? --those hands of yours
They touch my shoulder, I melt until
the words can't even come out
Take me to the sky at dawn
Like a curved boat in the stream,
your fingers go through my hair
Steal me away before the quiet dream is over
Ride the wind
A million years with you only seems like a day
(You know your love takes me away)
Passing through the red clouds dyed by the sunset
(Baby, won't you show me the way)
I want to be at the end of the dream
Even if it's close by, even if it's far away
On the day it was solved by the puzzle
I want to feel your hands more than anything
I join my hands with your hands
so they entertwine
All of a sudden I become aware that
the wonderful freedom is endlessly clear
My mind & body that I polluted with these
hands until today..let it all pass away
I just pray that you'll come
to light up my worn-out soul
LaLaLa...decorating the moon in the night sky
(Let's watch it together)
Baby won't you steal me away
from this place soaked in tears
*I want to be at the end of the dream
Even if it's close, even if it's far away
Baby can't you see I want [my wish] to be granted
