Won't love come?
Won't the distance fade away?
Won't these eyes yearn?
In the breeze...
Can't love arrive without words?
Can't the distance fade without us parting?
Won't love come?
Won't the distance fade away?
Won't these eyes yearn?
Won't it dissolve in the breeze?
Won't love come?
Won't the distance fade away?
Won't these eyes yearn?
Won't it dissolve in the breeze?
O love, along with tears,
you dissolved.
O love, along with tears,
you dissolved.
In the company of the saints, O Lord,
in the presence of the holy souls,
In the company of the saints, O Lord,
in the presence of the holy souls,
Speaking in the language of the heart,
to gaze upon the moonlit night,
to speak through the eyes,
won't it yearn to speak?
To watch day turn into night,
to search for the dewy flower,
a moment to make innocent mistakes—
won't it come?
I kept looking for your glance,
I kept waiting through the passage of time,
my heart told a lie,
yet I called it love.
I kept looking for your glance,
I kept waiting through the passage of time,
my heart told a lie,
yet I called it love.
Won't love come?
Won't the distance fade away?
Won't these eyes yearn?
Won't it dissolve in the breeze?
Won't love come?
Won't the distance fade away?
Won't these eyes yearn?
Won't it dissolve in the breeze?
O love, you dissolved into tears.
O love, you dissolved into tears.
