lyrics

I am restless, but i see no reason to go out.
I've seen what you're scene is about
and i don't have any fun.

For when I see your face upon all the faces I see
I know they never will be
able to reach me.

The Pacific Ocean is the only thing i can care about
I am her disciple, devout
within and without.

I cannot see why you're so good to me.
Don't you see how I've been spending my time?

As you sit there patiently
while I'm somewhere up in the sky.

Looking down from here,
i just long to be near you
these nights nearly drive me insane
I go out of my head.

dear friend,
When will i see you again?

When will i see you again?

Close my eyes here,
I can almost hear your voice clearly
though if we have nothing to say
We can still hear the people pray.

We can hear the people pray.

Oh destiny,
Could you really love me this way?

Or have i just lost my way?
It's so hard to decide.

A vision.
The sea, it is calling me by my name
The moon is the harbinger of change
and we are not separate things.

Division.
You have taken a part of me out
You have stolen it miles away.
tell me,
when will i see you again?
