Back behind the factory
Always belching out clouds of smoke
I'd climb up the mountains of gravel
Then slide back down...
And wait for my friends
In that rough empty lot
I always swung my bat
Wearing my brother's too big hand-me-downs
Aiming for that iron tower
That thrust up into the sky...
Always dreaming of a big homerun
Nineteen sixty-nine
I lived in the light
Where am I going
With my rudder broken?
The photos on the wall look down
On my hesitation
I'm smiling
I'm standing there
I remember my dad
Carefully pressing the button
The grownups worked
Covered in iron scraps they worked
Longing for a better life
Day and night...
And coughing all the way, I grew up, too
Nineteen sixty-nine
Everything I loved was right nearby
Though it sprang out through the cracks
It burrowed back in
Don't look the loneliness
In my eyes
I'm smiling
I'm standing there
My dad seemed a little clumsy
I could see my mom over his shoulder
That beat up old Nishitetsu Lions baseball cap
All we've lost is the scenery
Won't you walk with me?
Nineteen sixty-nine
I lived in the light
Nineteen sixty-nine
Everything I loved was right nearby
