Gackt: Farewell

Artist: Gackt
Title: Farewell
Words: Gackt C.
Music: Gackt C.

on a moonless night,
the silvery crescent moon that floats down
onto my thirsting heart
brings warmth and tenderness to the words you said to me
"even on your own, you can keep on"
and brings the smile back to this face,
that had been crying and sulking.

when I get sad, if I close my eyes
you're there for me

I bid you farewell, to keep you from seeing the tears
you always smiled kindly to me
I won't forget that warmth

even when I shed these tears, I'm laughing
even if there's no path ahead
I'll spread my wings, I will

turned away from me,
your large figure disappeared
into the moondrops that began to fall
tell me once again, what point there is in going on?

I can keep on without looking back
because you are always there with me

because I'm determined not to go back
so that I'll never shed tears again
because that's the promise I made that day

even if my eyes tear up, this rain will remove them
because in the event that we could meet again
I want you to know that I'm past you.
