街の灯り
堺正章 Lyrics

The lyrics to 堺正章's song 街の灯り describe a feeling of loneliness and the longing for companionship. The first couple lines describe a heart that feels like it's sinking without someone nearby. It's then compared to an ocean that has receded and appears dark after the tide has gone out. The singer then talks about the warmth that they feel from the touch of someone else's shoulder and how they wish they could talk more together. They acknowledge that it's enough for now to feel that warmth.

The next few lines describe the singer writing the name of their loved one on a fogged-up window with their breath. They struggle to find the right words to express their feelings and end up quietly saying something to themselves. The chorus talks about the twinkling lights of the city and wonders what they might be whispering. The singer's heart feels like it's going to burst with love.

The next verse talks about the singer singing a beloved song for their loved one while tears fall. They wait patiently for their companion to arrive. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the light of the city and the love that fills the singer's heart.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of yearning for love and companionship, while also acknowledging the brief moments of warmth and connection that can make the heart swell.
