Maaya Sakamoto

And now she wakes to another grey day
In the Big Blue World
And her room's a tiny cage for a golden bird
O where did love go ?

And now the baby, that looks like him,
Starts to cry again
And again, again, eternally over again
Do rivers ever end ?

Count a thousand drops of rain
Washed down the drain
Is life the same, in a way ?

Catch the bus that never comes
Clouds block the sun
Is life the same, in a way ?

What will tomorrow bring ?
Will birds sing ?

And now the flowers in the window box
Seem to bow their heads
As she sits and stares with eyes, sad circles of red
Where did love go ?

Never a letter or a call
A knock upon the door
So much like life, in a way

Watch the hands move round the clock
Tie time in knots
Life does the same, in a way

What will tomorrow bring ?
Will birds sing ?

Let the birds sing !

And now she sleeps in an empty bed
Through a starless night
But she dreams of snow-white doves
Bringing branches of love
Maybe that's enough

Count a thousand drops of rain
Washed down the drain
Is life the same, in a way ?

Never a letter or a call
A knock upon the door
So much like life, in a way

What will tomorrow bring ?
Will birds sing ?
