The other side of the frosted glass in this windswept town An unprompted remark of the heart is rather miserable The weight of a dry leaf isn’t my life All because I lost my dearest one
While hunching over The ring finger was pulled out If you intend to return to me, discard it
If this birthstone, this ruby one Such words in my head whirl all around There inside the dazzling sunlight of August I pledged myself to the illusion of love
I enjoy my loneliness It’s good to be without a care Let these unchanging feelings quickly disappear
The other side of the frosted glass in this windswept town Cooled tea left behind on top of the table In the sunset, I adjust my collar in the crowd Distracted, I look around for you
Then, two years to the date, the crowd disperses In that town, I happen to catch a glimpse of a beige coat On their finger, I look for the ruby ring All because I lost my dearest one ◀ Repeat
