Sandpiper

Sandpiper

Vocals: Kalafina

Lyrics, Composition & Arrangement: Yuki Kajiura

How long have I been crying in this place?

I have forgotten…

Until even the reason for my tears has withered,

I wanna keep myself hidden.

Even if the wind calls to me,

I have no response –

The sky is sorrowful when alone.

In the brittleness of the sand,

The things I loved disappeared.

I cannot see you anywhere,

Even so, the clouds keep moving.

Until the day I will go traveling alone,

I will lose the heavens and become a sleeping sandpiper.

The pale wind heading toward my native land,

I simply wanna believe in it.

I looked upon your wings –

A sign of happiness in the direction of the green island.

If I become free, I lose my way.

The world is so vast that it is sorrowful.

Higher than the ocean, lower than the sky,

I will keep going.

There is nothing that will hurt you.

Before long, the blue sky will close.

I will abandon the heavens and start walking

Even if I can’t see the place I’m returning to.
