There in the distance
a bird awaits your embrace
With folded wings
it won't fly anywhere without you
Within its time-worn cage
those days fall out of memory
They all fade away
into the blinding light
Won't someone please hear my call?
Shouting up to the skies
Shouting up to beyond the skies
thinking of you
The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
can't compare to the longing I feel
Though the way is long and dark
my love will find a way to you
The distance to heaven
The distance to the sky
The falling rain surrounds me
like a gentle wave washing away
all of my wishes
Can someone tell me,
how long has it been
since I last saw the light of day?
Yet even the faintest light
brings my pain back to me
Won't someone please take my wings?
These wings can't fly
but if they could
I'd fly away from this pain
The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
Whenever I close my eyes
I see an image of you in my heart
fading into the darkness
The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
can't compare to the longing I feel
Though the way is long and dark
my love will find a way to you
The distance to heaven
The distance to the sky
The falling rain surrounds me
like a gentle wave washing away
all of my wishes
The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
The distance to heaven
The distance to the sky
The distance to heaven

Lyrics
遥か遠くであなたを持つ一羽の鳥
翼を折りたたみ
どこにも飛ばず佇む
錆びた籠の中朧げになった日々は
薄れていくほどに
美しい色を放つ
だれか私の声を
どうか届けてください
あの空へ
あの雲間へ
あなたの眠る麓へ
The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
鳴き声を上げるように
静かに閉ざされた
空が口を開けてゆく
The distance to heaven
The distance to sky
優しい雨が落ちる
濁った私の淡い願いなど
濯い流すように
時はどれくらい私を隠したのだろう
微かな光さえ
痛みを覚えてゆく
だれか私の羽を
どうか千切ってください
選べない自由ならば
いっそ持たずに行きたい
The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
まぶたに刻みつけた
あなたの面影が
漆黒の闇に溶ける
The distance to heaven
The distance to sky
冷たい雨は落ちる
握りしめた手のひらの熱を
奪い拭うように
閉ざした鳥籠閉ざした両足
未来を紡いで落ちてく黒鳥
閉ざした鳥籠閉ざした両足
あなたを思って落ちてく黒鳥
閉ざした鳥籠閉ざした両足
未来を紡いで 落ちてく黒鳥
(Why am I standing here alone?)
水圧に犯される感情
(Where am I standing right now?)
水の中に消えてくざわめき
(Why am I standing here alone?)
沈みながら私は思った
あの空を
あの雲間を
あなたの笑顔を
The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
鳴き声を上げるように
静かに閉ざされた
空が口を開けてゆく
The distance to heaven
The distance to sky
優しい雨が落ちる
濁っ私の淡い願いなど
濯い流すように
The distance to heaven
The distance from my heart
The distance to heaven
The distance to sky
The distance to heaven
