Curtain of Sorrow

Lyrics & Composition: Noriyuki Makihara

You believed they'd always be by your side
The happiness smiling in the light of the evening sun
disappeared while you were looking away
and all you can do is cry, wishing the time would come back
Like the darkness hiding the afterflow
the sorrow of the black velvet
hangs over your heart and seems
to draw back the curtain of happiness

I found just one first star of the evening
in the sky at dusk and it too in time grew dark
and its light was so small it wasn't visible
but the stardust will twinkle in the night sky

I'm sure sorrow is a curtain that comes down
to make you aware of something in your heart
Wipe away your tears and look away
See, you're not alone
I'm by your side

I've had times when I've realized
I was happy only after losing it
I've lived on to be able to say
it was time to learn what was important

Because there's darkness, stardust can shine
Because there's the sun, the moon can shine
We're together the same
to help out one another

I'm sure sorrow is a curtain that comes down
to make you aware of something in your heart
Wipe away your tears and look away
See, you're not alone
I'm by your side

I found just one first star of the evening
in the sky at dusk and it too in time grew dark
and its light was so small it wasn't visible
but the stardust will twinkle in the night sky

I'm sure sorrow is a curtain that comes down
to make you aware of something in your heart
Wipe away your tears and look away
See, you're not alone
I'm by your side

Wipe away your tears and look away
See, you're not alone
Let's search for happiness together

Kanashimi no Tobari

Sakushi & Sakkyoku: Makihara Noriyuki

Zutto soba ni aru to shinjiteta
Yuukage ni hohoemu shiawase wa
Yosomi shiteru ma ni inaku natte
Jikan ga modoseru nara to naku bakari
Zanshou wo kakusu yami no you ni
Kuroi BIROODO no kanashimi wa
Kokoro ni kakari shiawase no maku wo
Hiku you ni omoeru kedo

Ichiban hoshi hitotsu dake mitsuketa
Yuuyami no sora mo itsuka kurete
Sono hikari chiisakute miezu ni ita
Hoshikuzu ga yozora ni mabataku yo

Kanashimi wa kitto anata no kokoro ni
Nanika kizukaseru tame ni orita tobari
Namida wo nuguite yoko wo muite mite
Hora anata wa hitori ja nai
Watashi wa soba ni iru

Ushinatte hajimete shiawase ni
Kizuita toki ga watashi nimo aru
Daiji na koto wo shiru toki datta to
Ieru you ni ikite kita

Yami ga aru kara hoshikuzu ga kagayakeru
Taiyou ga aru kara tsuki ga kagayakeru
Onaji you ni tagai wo tasukeau tame ni
Watashitachi wa issho ni iru no

Kanashimi wa kitto anata no kokoro ni
Nanika kizukaseru tame ni orita tobari
Namida wo nuguite yoko wo muite mite
Hora anata wa hitori ja nai
Watashi wa soba ni iru

Ichiban hoshi hitotsu dake mitsuketa
Yuuyami no sora mo itsuka kurete
Sono hikari chiisakute miezu ni ita
Hoshikuzu ga yozora ni mabataku yo

Kanashimi wa kitto anata no kokoro ni
Nanika kizukaseru tame ni orita tobari
Namida wo nuguite yoko wo muite mite
Hora anata wa hitori ja nai
Watashi wa soba ni iru

Namida wo nuguite yoko wo muite mite
Hora anata wa hitori ja nai
Issho ni shiawase sagasou
