歌詞

Deep within the forest, standing so high

A single wild cherry tree touches the sky

Wrapping herself in the colors of spring

Waiting for the someone that tomorrow might bring

Keeping the promise that she made on that day

Ticking the time as the years pass away

Deep in the heart of the ancient wood

The memories sleep where they always stood

The one she waits for didn't come again this year

But even so, she refuses to fear

On the tips of her branches, under the night

The buds of a hope throw a faint little light

Fluttering, dancing, falling so free

Swaying in the wind, oh wild cherry tree

Fluttering, dancing, falling so deep

Waiting for the promise that she has to keep

Without being seen by a single one's eyes

The tears of her petals fall down from the skies

Scattering into the ground

Fluttering, dancing, falling so free

Swaying in the wind, oh wild cherry tree

"Surely next year," is the prayer she will make

Holding a dream that will never break

On the old trunk that is wet with the dew

The wind comes to lean, as if it once knew

"Please don't forget the sound of my name,"

She shakes so quietly, staying the same

Just like that day, with nowhere to run

Looking up high at the sky and the sun

Even if she has to stay all alone

She will keep waiting for the love she has known

The one she waits for didn't come again today

But even so, she refuses to stray

On the tips of her branches, under the night

A gentle pale light is now holding on tight

Fluttering, dancing, falling so free

Swaying in the wind, oh wild cherry tree

Fluttering, dancing, falling so deep

Waiting for the promise that she has to keep

Into the memories made in the past

The tears of her petals are scattering fast

Melting away in the ground

Fluttering, dancing, falling so free

Swaying in the wind, oh wild cherry tree

"Surely next year," is the prayer she will make

Holding a dream that will never break

If only someday, the sound of that stride

Could finally reach her, right here inside

Then all of this time that has gone for so long

And all of this sadness, would turn to a song

And finally be redeemed

Fluttering, dancing, falling so free

Swaying in the wind, oh wild cherry tree

Fluttering, dancing, falling so deep

Waiting for the promise that she has to keep

Without being seen by a single one's eyes

The tears of her petals fall down from the skies

Scattering into the ground

Fluttering, dancing, falling so free

Swaying in the wind, oh wild cherry tree

Even right now, inside the cold zone

She keeps on waiting, completely alone
