Lyric

Northern Traveler

SHOWA MUSIC HALL

水戸の街並み背中に受けて

夜の国道　一人歩いて行く

置いてゆきたいあなたの影を

フェリー埠頭に　滲む灯り揺れて

波打つ合間に　ため息ひとつ

未練の汽笛が　夜空に響く

北へと向かうは　明日への灯り

去り行く大洗　涙を置いて

黒いデッキに身を乗り出して

白く泡立つ波が過去へ散って

忘れられないぬくもりだけど

二度と戻らぬ　未練捨てて来たが

こごえた頬へと誓いを立てる

海原続いて　風に吹かれて

思い出すべてを波間に捨てて

希望は苫小牧　自分を探す

A sorrowful saxophone plays the longing of someone heading north. Based on my real experience taking a ferry from Oarai Port near Mito to Tomakomai Port, I depicted the loneliness of leaving home and the feelings about the journey. It's a song I want you to listen to when you want to soak in emotion late at night or just need a change of mood. With this 'travel enka,' let your thoughts drift to the distant northern port.
