Tokeidai no Kane

Stop, clock tower
As it chimes eight o'clock
A sigh escapes from promises made
I can barely see your face anymore

Stop, clock tower
Until I slip through the gates
I made a reservation, but
I can't stand the cancellation

I hope you're still standing there
As the train sways, I sway too
If there's a taboo about longing
I’d say, "I was just being honest"

My laundry's piling up
The train made an unscheduled stop
If I could just walk from here, I’d get off

I hope you're still standing there
As the train sways, I sway too
The clock tower's chime fades outside the window
Echoing deep in my ears

The pinky promise we exchanged, the bone of my finger trembles
Drenched in a deep red fever
Your finger gently loosens its grip
Quietly, I let go of your hand

Stop, clock tower
As it chimes eight o'clock
A sigh escapes from promises made
I can hear your voice again

I hope you're still standing there
As the train sways, I sway too
If there's a taboo about longing
I’d say, "I was just being honest"

I hope you're still standing there
As the train sways, I sway too
The clock tower's chime fades outside the window
Echoing deep in my ears.
