小川知子 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

あなたのいないあなたの部屋で
夢のつづきを見た涙にぬれて
命かぎりに愛しても
恋が消えたら何が残るの
いつも悲しい思い出だけね

あなたのいないあなたの町を
今日も歩いてみた面影抱いて

あなたひとりが願いなの
他の人ではみたされないの
恋のなごりが燃えているから

呼んでみたって帰らない

知っていながら待ちつづけるの
恋のなごりに生きているから

She sings about loving someone until the end of her life, but wonders what will remain once the love is gone. The memories she has of the relationship only bring her sadness. Although the person she loves is not with her in the town they once shared, she continues to walk the streets and cling to the memories of him. She knows that her only wish is for him to return, as no one else can satisfy her. She feels the remnants of their love burning within her.
