Lyric

Shadows of crimson leaves sway on the water's face

Fiery droplets of life, falling with a gentle grace

The white silk threads of the fall, descending from the sky

Purifying all the earth as they pass by

Ah, in the mystic forest deep

The spirits of the water sing as the world starts to sleep

The maple leaves dance through the autumn air

Embracing every soul with a tender prayer

The sound of the spray as it climbs up the ancient stone

Is it the whisper of gods from a time that we've outgrown?

A bridge made of rainbows, glowing for a fleeting beat

Where this world and the spirit world are destined to meet

Ah, in the mystic forest deep

The spirits of the water sing as the world starts to sleep

The maple leaves dance through the autumn air

Embracing every soul with a tender prayer

Water that has flowed since the ancient Manyo days

Nurturing every life in a thousand different ways

Changing your form as the autumn season turns to gold

Believing in the promise that next year will yet unfold

Ah, in the mystic forest deep

The spirits of the water sing as the world starts to sleep

The maple leaves dance through the autumn air

Embracing every soul with a tender prayer

Shadows of crimson leaves reflected on the stream

Swaying so quietly, like a fading autumn dream

Ah, spirits of the water, divine and so clear

In this sacred place... let us meet again next year
