Toda Keiko - Omoide Buruu Doriimu (translation) Lyrics

One brief summer you and I
Built a beautiful sand castle by the sea
But the heartless wind tossed your words till they fell apart
And flung them far, far away...
Could it be that those words
Contained a message of love?
Now, it's all a pale, hazy memory
Never to be known

Finally autumn came, and we parted ways
And our sand castle crumbled into the sea...
Even the seagulls were missing from the sky that was gray as lead
Alone I gaze at the lighthouse, eyes fixed to its light...
Could it be the beginnings of love,
Burning gently like a flame just kindled?
But that is a pale desire gleaming softly in the distance
Never to be known
