Flitting and flirting she dances in the air
She shows herself, the Swallowtail
In the middle of a summer night under moonlight
Baring the most joyous YELLOW-
And stripes of anxious BLUE
Wings of dark violet that resemble the ends of the earth

I asked a traveling man
How far was he going to go
When would his journey come to an end

The traveler then answered
There is no end at all
Although he could make it end himself

So, good-bye, and farewell
I saw her off so long ago

Back to here, she still hasn't come back
She didn't realize that it was me (_implied: who loved her_)
Until right now

Having met you was good enough
You brought light to the world
I only needed to see you in my dreams
But I wished for your love
And the world changed it's face
At the ends of the earth the sky and sea join together


What the poet puts into each word
The emotion he commits
The meaning one will never know

Yes, it'd be good to tell
A friend, like you
Can it please reach to you

If this was a drama of all sorts
How terrible the STORY is

Unable to move forward or back up
Stuck on the stage standing by myself
Left just like that

If you wanted I would let you have
This body, it is all yours
To shield you from the flying embers
Just one handful of emotion
That I have for you
Please receive it and place it deep within your heart

Lalala laa laa laaa
Lalala laa laa laaa
Lalala laa laa laaa
Lalala laa laa laaa

Having met you was good enough
You brought light to the world
Only needed to see you in my dreams
But I wished for your love
And the world changed it's face
At the ends of the earth the sky and sea join together

Having bloomed in a field, Swallowtail
Wavering past the sky
That place I will never reach, OASIS
Please give me some cold water
And maybe you could love me
I'll let you rest your wings on my shoulders
