Yumemitai ne kenka bakari shiteita
Umi no mieru
Aoi omoide no hibi yusaburu no...
Hitomi no naka awai keshiki subete o
Wasuretai to omou watashi no hāto furueteru...
Deatta ano koro kono machi
Nagareru merodi natsukashii ne
Yume janai no hikui koe no sayonara
Ima wa inai anata no yokogao
Ah Ah ukabu kara... setsunakute...
