- Japanese
- 薄墨色の 暮れ行く空は
- 誘うよ遠い 日々の名残りを
- 幼い夢と あこがれ乗せて
- 飛行機雲が 流れて消えた
- もしも時を越えて
- あの日の私に
- 伝えられるのなら
- 翔んで行きたい
- 恐れを さあその小さな
- 手のひらからそっと
- 放しておやり
- 世界はただ 待っているの
- 輝く瞳が 歩きだすのを
- 見知らぬ町の 見知らぬ人は
- 映画のように 通りすぎる
- 誰か私に 道を教えて
- 行くはずだった もひとつの道
- もしもドアをあけて
- 隣の世界に
- 入り込めるのなら
- 私を探そう
- ほんの少し 夢を追って
- 回り道をした 懐かしい日を
- 覚えている？
- そして今も
- 輝く瞳で 歩いているの？
- 薄墨色の 暮れ行く空は
- 誘うよ遠い 日々の名残りを

- Unofficial English translation
- The darkening ink-colored sky
- Invites traces of distant days.
- Carrying childhood dreams and yearnings,
- Airplane trails flow and disappear.
- If I crossed time
- To the me of that day,
- If I could tell her,
- I'd want to fly away.
- And as for fears, well
- Let them fall away just so
- From your tiny palms.
- The world is simply waiting
- For your shining eyes to make their debut.
- Strange towns' unknown people
- Pass on by as though in a movie.
- Won't someone show me the path?
- The one remaining path I'm expected to follow?
- If you open the door
- To the neighboring world,
- If you can go inside,
- Search for me.
- Follow your dreams, if only a little,
- Those nostalgic days that took roundabout routes
- Do you remember them?
- And are you still
- Walking about with your shining eyes?
- The darkening ink-colored sky
- Invites traces of distant days.
