新しい航海
佐野元春 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

電気的なバレンタイン君に君に
バラ色のブルー
偽りの真実並べて
ステンドグラスの海に浮かべる
今までの夢はまぼろし
悲しげに生きるより
眠りたい眠りたい
欲望のボルケイノ君に君に

天使の唄堕落の唄溢れて
サファイヤの夜空にまばたく
今までの夢はまぼろし
悲しげに生きるより
眠りたい眠りたい
初めて恋したときのような
新しい世界何もかも輝いてる
ガレキの中で荒れ地の中で
君が見えてくる君が見えてくる

サファイヤの夜空にまばたく
今までの夢はまぼろし
悲しげに生きるより
眠りたい眠りたい
どんな時もどんな夜も君と
少しずつ感じている感じている
どんな時もどんな夜も君と
少しずつ感じている感じている
ガレキの中に荒れ地の中に
君が見えてくる

ガレキの中に荒れ地の中に
君が見えてくる君が見えてくる...
