tokyo, 7 p.m.

as I watched tv vacantly

I had a strange dream

woke up and saw the time

just to see you

I want to be loved all night

the restaurant

where we were to meet had closed and disappeared

and I'm dying from hunger

I wanna see you soon

this glorious city is like a lie

a breeze hits me as I open the taxi window
The artist feels a gust of wind as they open a taxi window while heading towards the special person.

suddenly, an answering machine starts by itself and talks all night

today again I'm a little late

but it's not christmas

In the whole world can you love only me?

holding only a bouquet of roses you are waiting alone

the same roses I saw in a dream

I truly love you

I wanna see you soon
