Artist: Hamasaki Ayumi
Title: Angel's Song
Words: Hamasaki Ayumi
Music: Yukumi Tetsuya

I assured myself that I wasn't alone
running away into the night
when all was said and done, day by day
all I was doing was making my loneliness more apparent.

the road home away from the hustle and bustle
eventhough nothing's changed
when I considered we might be repeating ourselves
suddenly the tears welled up.

unreliable pathetic
worried and lonely
I clamored for warmth
with a voice that wouldn't speak up

yes, it was you
who appeared out of the blue
and shed light on my darkness.
then you laughed a little
nodded that it was alright
took my hand and we walked on
I saw the angel's wings on your back

I didn't wish for strength to dull me to the pain

saved, supported
we provided for each other, we forgave each other
all because I found something to treasure.

sometimes you throw everything at me
too recklessly
it's just too much, I cherish even the winks
you have angel's wings on your back

Please don't become a sacrificial lamb
to this sad age,
I sing as if praying in hopes that once more
my wholehearted feelings reach you.
