山下達郎 (Tatsuro Yamashita)
In A Forest Of Feathers (羽の林で)
[Verse 1]
An afternoon when time stood still
Insects, metallic insects
An afternoon when time stood still
A thousand elephants changing course in an instant, in an instant
[Chorus 1]
Swelling and rippling like a river
Flowing high with cresting waves
Clouds form and reform with a strong wind
Never stopping in one place
[Verse 2]
An afternoon when time stood still
Sliced time, time womb
Children play in a forest of feathers
Endless movement and change in a seamless texture
[Chorus 2]
Diving with a falling vortex
Nothing ever happens twice
Floating with a rising vortex
Nothing ever happens twice
[Chorus 3]
Laughing with a falling vortex
Nothing ever happens twice
Floating with a rising vortex
Nothing ever happens twice
