細野晴臣 (Haruomi Hosono)
Impossible Until It Happens
[Verse 1]
My absent friends, some kindred souls
I stoke the fire but miss its glow
My absent friends, you're here but gone

[Chorus]
It's impossible until it happens
A certain lack of love, the beauty shatters
With things I wish that I could still remember
With things I didn't mean to take for granted
I'm lost upon no matter whatsoever
No matter whatsoever

[Verse 2]
What we touch we can always lose
A fleeting presence speaking in tongues
Speaking in tongues

[Chorus]
It's impossiblе until it happens
When the music stops, thе silence hardens
With things I wish I didn't take for granted
With things I wanted to relive forever
I'm lost upon no matter whatsoever
No matter whatsoever
[Verse 3]
I look for words in the wake of stars
Some friendly spirits to show me the ropes
I look for words I never spoke

[Chorus]
It's impossible until it happens
Until the music stops and silence hardens
With things I wish that I could still remember
With things they didn't mean to take for granted
I'm lost upon no matter whatsoever
No matter whatsoever
I'm lost upon no matter whatsoever
No matter whatsoever
