夜間飛行
ちあきなおみ Lyrics

In “夜間飛行” (Yakou Hikou), Chiyaki Naomi sings about the aftermath of a failed romance, and the pain and sorrow that lingers. The first verse describes the singer’s hurt emotions, as her tears and pain are overwhelming her. However, she chooses to take flight and leave, entrusting herself to her wings, and leaving the city where she was once loved and left. The second verse is addressed to her former love, telling him that even though he will never find her, she hopes that one day he will understand her love. With a heavy heart, she leaves for a foreign land, accepting her sadness as she becomes one with the stars that decorate the night sky.
