Lost Dreams

The lost dreams of the years

It is my endless wishing and chasing

Often makes my heart ache

Do you see my longing expression

The dampness in this demented gaze

Like the green mist curling in the winter morning

Blinds my blinded eyes

I can't see the road ahead and the dam of my will

I once held you so tightly in my arms

But my tender chest and weak arms

But I lost the magnificent wall of flowers

The heavy pain stopped me from moving forward

And my hollow heart and cold hands

Saying goodbye to you silently in falling tears

And so I leave you, but my thoughts are in my heart

Maybe you have drowned my shallow shadow

Take my bag and throw it into the cold sea

Do you know that I have not forgotten your beauty

I'm still searching for your beautiful world

Even if it burns to ashes, the bent white traces

Still walking in the air even if it goes out and becomes cool
