In the middle of the night I carved
<br>A farewell song into the white school wall
<br>In the morning glow I searched for her face
<br>On the train platform, but couldn't see through my tears
<br>I left a message on my desk: "I'm leaving on a journey"
<br>With my harmonica and a little change in my pocket
<br>
<br>Not even knowing the meaning of goodbye
<br>It all crumbled and fell through my hands for no reason
<br>I was sixteen
<br>Longing for the distant sky in an alleyway
<br>
<br>Had a part-time job out in Yokohama
<br>By the time I got home by train it was midnight
<br>Leaning against the window with my old folk guitar
<br>I'd just learned to play "Blowin' in the Wind"
<br>Talking about dreams with my friends in that tiny room
<br>And praying someday this country would open its eyes
<br>
<br>Not even knowing the meaning of betrayal
<br>It all crumbled and fell through my hands for no reason
<br>I was eighteen
<br>Shrugging my shoulders and waiting in an alleyway
<br>
<br>Leaning against the high red walls
<br>Of the factory on my way home
<br>I wrote my first letter to my mom back home
<br>Telling her "I'm doing fine"
<br>I fell in love and we spent each night together
<br>In a fever of confusion
<br>
<br>Not even knowing the meaning of tenderness
<br>It all crumbled and fell through my hands for no reason
<br>I was twenty-one
<br>Holding your slender shoulders in an alleyway
<br>
<br>Whenever I hum, it's always a sad song
<br>And my heart aches with a love that will never return
<br>
<br>Today I'm still answering that voice that calls
<br>As it all crumbles and falls through my hands for no reason
<br>I'm twenty-two
<br>And for the first time I reach a dead-end in the alleyway
