Slowly
遊佐未森 Lyrics

もっとゆっくり話して
ちょっとわからないわ
窓をすりぬける風に
声も消えてしまう
青い森の空気に
言葉なんていらないよ
もっとゆっくり走って
あせることはないわ

窓を流れる景色が
とてもきれいなのに
遠い先のことより
丘の上で休みましょう
夏の朝秋の午後
冬の夜春の宵
なにげない毎日の
やさしいその素顔を
見つけたいから急がないで

もっとゆっくり愛して
無理にわからないで
窓にもたれてぼんやり
したいだけよ今は
長い曲がりくねった
道が続く

広い空
I'd like to know what it is
小さなわたし
Everything is never same
永遠の
I'd like to know what you are
あくびひとつ
Everyone is never same
靴をぬいで
風の声鳥の歌
雨の色花の夢
いとおしいものたちの
たしかなその時間
夏の朝秋の午後
冬の夜春の宵
なにげない毎日の

ひそかなそのしぐさを
感じたいから急がないで
