Southern Cross Dreaming

➴ ➶ ➴

...This time, laid on soft sheets of white
Your gaze is locked, on mine
Those eyes, are whirlpools of worry within
I know it’s true~

A small, naked wick ignited
In orange hues of candlelight
Two eyes, unknowing of your next doing
Sensed a truth~

They didn’t know why,
I took you to my place

But it isn’t just another evening,
It won’t be just a memory

Streamlining the road
Like a dragon kite flies away
Hot red convertible
Zips the nighttime like it won’t end
Those eyes sense something new
My gaze looking back at you

No, it’s just too much,
One touch scorched on a cigarette
No, it’s time to go,
A sense of danger in the stratosphere
My hand stretched out for someone
But left with no one else to hold

*wistful instrumental*

A secret, could disguise one,
As a labyrinth of empty halls
But I, never thought too much of your silence
I somewhat knew~

Those eyes, swirling in shadows uncertain but anew
Oh how, about we take this one step a time
Me with you?

What should we do?
I’m still smiling at you

One brave lil’ glance with a blush,
You do it just like I do

Streamlining the road
My thoughts like a blur passing thin
Hot red convertible
Roaring with dreams of a heated kiss
I thought that if I just tried
Maybe you wouldn’t leave this time

No, it’s just too much,
But everything in me depends on this
No, it’s time to go,
A misty regret takes on me
Seems nothing but a fantasy
Our once in a lifetime love

*super wistful instrumental*

Your eyes seem to know
What your mind isn’t telling you
Isn’t that enough?
Why run away when you’re looking back?
I wanted you to know,
Maybe more than I should

Streamlining the road
Like a dragon kite flies away
Hot red convertible
Zips the nighttime like it won’t end
Those eyes sense something new
My gaze looking back at you

Streamlining the road
My thoughts like a blur passing thin
Hot red convertible
Roaring with dreams of a heated kiss
I thought that if I just tried
Maybe you wouldn’t leave this time...

This Japanese 80s song is sung by the siren’s voice of Momoko Kikuchi

These lyrics were written by me.

The original lyrics are even more heart pounding, please look at their translation:

And also the evening magic that this song brings is no joke either:

This can be thought of as a sequel to my poem, Last Summer Whisper, I guess?
