Witness
V1
Shadows weave through my bamboo blind
Golden fireflies bring old memories to mind
How suddenly they glow
Before flickering again
Mirroring well the fickle heart of a man
Chorus
Everyone in the house is asleep
The moon and I are here alone
Luminous it gazes in my direction
Witness to my sad reflections, oh
V2
Night birds call near a mountain shrine
Soon a lonely flute whispers of another time
Recalling how love blooms
Before withering again
Mirroring well the fickle heart of a man
Chorus
Everyone in the house is asleep
The moon and I are here alone
Luminous it gazes in my direction
Witness to my sad reflections, oh, oh
Bridge
Cherry blossoms drift like snow
Yet bring my heart no ease
I long for you
As petals fall
Like tears
No lover ever sees
Chorus
Everyone in the house is asleep
The moon and I are here alone
Luminous it gazes in my direction
Witness to my sad reflections
