Lyric

At the edge of the bridge, where there are no lights

A scrap of a letter hidden in my sleeve

I can see your fingertips tracing the letters

Carried away by the night wind

I was the one who lit the fire

But it was your gaze that faded away

The promise carried away by the wind

I still hold it close, even now… (Ruru…)

Deep inside my chest, unseen by anyone

A red ember sways in the wind

The autumn night breeze is so cold…

Yet my heart still burns!

The words I couldn’t say

“Don’t go,” now they ache

The autumn night breeze is so cold…

Each quiet shiver of breath

Every time I think of your name

Still, my heart wanders, trembling in fear…

[Inst: Cello and shamisen weave a slow dialogue, shakuhachi echoes like distant memory, faint taiko heartbeat underneath]

The shadow of the moon falls on the river’s surface

When I reach out, it sways and vanishes

Your voice was just like that

Unreachable, fading away

(Whispered)

To think that kindness could become a blade

I wish I never knew that, back then

The autumn night breeze is so cold…

Yet my heart keeps wavering… (Ruru…)

In this place without you

I’m still waiting

The autumn night breeze is so cold…

Tears fall without a sound

But this feeling

Still carries its heat

(Softly, fading)

The heat… it still lingers…

The autumn night breeze is so cold…

Yet my heart keeps wavering… (Ruru…)

In this place without you
