Tokeidai no Kane

The Clock Tower

Tokeidai no Kane

Stop, clock towerTomatte shimae tokeidai
As it chimes eight o'clockHachiji wo tsugeru aida ni
A sigh escapes from promises madeYakusoku sugite tameiki
I can barely see your face anymoreAnata no kao ga mou miesou

Stop, clock towerTomatte shimae tokeidai
Until I slip through the gatesKaisatsu nukeru toki made
I made a reservation, butYoyaku wo ireta dina- mo
I can't stand the cancellationDainashi ni natte kyanseru wa iya

I hope you're still standing thereAnata ga mada tatte imasu you ni
As the train sways, I sway tooRessha ni yurarenagara watashi mo yureteta
If there's a taboo about longingIinogare nante tabu- da wa attara nante iou
I’d say, "I was just being honest""kenketsu shite'mashita no"

My laundry's piling upSentakumono ga karande
The train made an unscheduled stopRessha wa tochuu teishi shita
If I could just walk from here, I’d get offKoko kara aruite itte maniau no nara orite yuku noni

I hope you're still standing thereAnata ga mada tatte imasu you ni
As the train sways, I sway tooRessha ni yurarenagara watashi mo yureteta
The clock tower's chime fades outside the windowMado no soto de kasuka ni naru tokeidai no kane
Echoing deep in my earsMimi no oku de zawameku

The pinky promise we exchanged, the bone of my finger tremblesYubikiri kawashita koyubi no hone wa kishimi
Drenched in a deep red feverMakka ni somari binetsu wo yadoshita mama
Your finger gently loosens its gripAnata no yubi ga yurunde hodokete yuku
Quietly, I let go of your handShizuka ni sono te wo kiriotoshite

Stop, clock towerTomatte shimae tokeidai
As it chimes eight o'clockHachiji wo tsugeru aida ni
A sigh escapes from promises madeYakusoku sugite tameiki
I can hear your voice againAnata no koe ga mou kikoeru

I hope you're still standing thereAnata ga mada tatte imasu you ni
As the train sways, I sway tooRessha ni yurarenagara watashi mo yureteta
If there's a taboo about longingIinogare nante tabu- da wa attara nante iou
I’d say, "I was just being honest""kenketsu shite'mashita no"

I hope you're still standing thereAnata ga mada tatte imasu you ni
As the train sways, I sway tooRessha ni yurarenagara watashi mo yureteta
The clock tower's chime fades outside the windowMado no soto de kasuka ni naru tokeidai no kane
Echoing deep in my ears.Mimi no oku de zawameku
