Furitsumoru yuki wa kono te ni maiori
Kakushita hazu no kokoro no ana ni tokedashita
Futari ga mita no wa itsu no hi no keshiki
Mioboe aru shikisai ga dokoka madoronda

Tooku yurameita ai wo sono te ni kakaete ita no
Hontou wa maboroshi to shirinagara
Urayanda koi no imi wa hakanasa ni kiete yuku to
Fui ni kizuita

Yurayura maichiru konayukitachi
Setsunage ni tokete iku ai wa doko e...
Sarasara kasanaru hikari to kage
Kizu tsukitakunai nante hontou wa...uso na no ni ne

Yume mita ashita wa mou nido to kozu ni
Eien to iu mugen no kanata ni tokekonda

Setsu ni ai shiau hibi mo “itsuwari” to yobareru nara
Moumoku no namida ni nakinurerya ii
Hagayuku mo itoshisa yue sono mi wo kogasu omoi wo
Sotto kakushita

Hirahira mabataku awaki hikari
Tayorinage ni yurete wa kiete doko e...
Harahara michibiku saki wo terashi
Imi arige na hikari wo yadoshi koyoi wa dareka no moto e...

Kanashimi no namida ni somaru koro
Ano hito no kage wo sagasu no deshou
Fureau tabi ni ai wo kanjita
Nukumori ni sono karada wo yoseta
Kizu tsuku kuse ni mata tsume wo tatete toiki ga nijimu

Yurayura maichiru konayukitachi
Setsunage ni tokete iku ai wa doko e...
Sarasara kasanaru hikari to kage
Kizu tsukitakunai nante hontou wa
Kizu tsukitakunai nante hontou wa...uso na no ni ne
