菅野よう子 (Yoko Kanno)
22
[Verse 1]
Wake up
Wake up in the morning dew
Peppermint fields, I watch the birds fly
Darkness disappears into light
The lightest feeling dawns with the new day floating
Looking back now with perfect eyes
If only I could just save this sight
But it slips away
Into the breaking waves
And slowly sinks back into the sand

[Verse 2]
A bird is singing now
A calm wind pushes through the pines
I can see the color of her hair
The tears in her eyes
Waving goodbye
So, goodbye
We must say goodbye
We must say goodbye

[Verse 3]
Wake up
Wake up in an older world
Strangers smile for no reason at all
Cotton candy clouds in the sky
Playing with the shapes as they pass me by
Looking back now with perfect eyes
If only I could just save this sight
But they fall away into the rush of days
Another life is calling my name
