Red dragonflies are flitting by, busy in the air
Darting back and forth, they’re dancing everywhere
Suddenly a late cicada starts its lonely cry
"Where did summer go?" I ask the cooling sky
The roaring chorus of the heat has vanished like a breath
Leaving just the silence and the shadows underneath
Chasing after, chasing after, but I’m left behind
Wandering through memories I can no longer find
A summer love is nothing but a dream in the heat haze
Now the autumn wind is blowing through my lonely days
So cold, so clear, through the ending of the maze
Golden waves of ripened grain are swaying in the field
Waiting for the harvest that the passing months will yield
Seasons always turn around, I know that this is true
But I wanted to stay ignorant, stay right here with you
Chasing after, chasing after, standing in the still
While the cosmos flowers shiver on the lonely hill
The sun was high... the pulse was fast
We thought the light would always last
But the gold is turning to a deeper shade of brown
And the summer heat is finally cooling down
Chasing after, chasing after, I’m letting go at last
Giving up the ghost of every summer in the past
A summer love is nothing but a dream in the heat haze
But the autumn sky is watching with a gentle, steady gaze
It finds me here, in its soft and silent ways
The sky is so blue
Watching over me
