Lyric

The Flowers that Don't Bloom

Tomoko Miyata

窓がすこし開いていて

春の風が吹いていて

静かにゆれるカーテンが

やさしい光を包んでる

あれから一度春夏と

秋冬過ぎただけなのに

白く光る髪の毛も

5本や10本増えたけど

越えた谷が深いほど

登った山が高いほど

歩いた道が長いほど

強くなれると思ってた

スプーンに積もったプライドに

木枯らし吹いて咳き込んで

肩の荷物を降ろしたら

目線がちょっぴり高くなる

掘った穴の深さだけ

落ちたはしごの高さだけ

流した涙の熱さだけ

やさしくなれたらそれでいい

咲かない花を見に行こう

見えない星を数えよう

破れた夢のその先で

交わす乾杯 待ちながら

掴んだ夢のその後で

交わす乾杯 待ちながら

交わす乾杯 待ちわびて
