Kageboushi

On nights when I miss kindness,
My heart aches, and I cry like a man.
If this warmth wraps around me,
Even if it’s not love, we can still trust each other.

If it’s a bond of the heart, let’s drown it in booze.
If it’s someone I want to share with,
I’ll put my hands together.
Your profile, holding back loneliness,
Dragging yesterday along,
That shadow of the heart.

On nights when a light flickers in my chest,
Only memories darken my heart.
Even if dreams are torn and I’m alone,
I can forget someone for a moment.

If it’s a bond of the heart, let’s wash it with tears.
If it’s someone I want to see, I’ll close my eyes.
Your lonely back is your life,
Dragging yesterday along, that shadow of the heart.

(repeat)
