上田正樹　悲しい色やね ( SMEJ )

It's Sad Color

Watching blurred city lights by us
I stopped the car to the pier, leaning against

Don't crying don't
Get more painful

"Hold me tight"
Osaka bay blues
"Do you love me?" You are asking to me
"Hold me tight"
Don't you see, even such a thing?

It's sad color of the Osaka sea, Isn't it?
Everyone come to here,
To abandon Sayonara

The man, only I have dream, but
I couldn't hate you a while

Don't escaping don't
I bite my lips

"Hold me tight"
Osaka bay blues
Many rivers flow in this town
All fragments of dreams and loves wash away to the sea

"Hold me tight"
Osaka bay blues
We are going to the end today
"Hold me tight"
You are only my youth

"Hold me tight"
Osaka bay blues
We are going to the end today
"Hold me tight"
You are only my youth
