Japanese (日本語歌詞) 	Romaji (ローマ字)
花道を薄く照らして 	hanamichi o usuku terashite
寄せ木細工 音を奏でた 	yosegi zaiku oto o kanadeta
艶やかな 上弦の月 	adeyakana jougen no tsuki
雲に消えた 傘もないのに 	kumo ni kieta kasa mo nai no ni
 	
朝がきてそれが春のけの様に 	asa ga kite sore ga haru no shimodoke no you ni
凍てついた恋がいつか 熱く流れるならば 	itetsuita koi ga itsuka atsuku nagareru naraba
 	
終わらない雨の中で抱きしめて 	owaranai ame no naka de dakishimete
貴方が答えを隠しているのなら 	anata ga kotae o kakushite iru no nara
変わらない声でどうか囁いて 	kawaranai koe de douka sasayaite
壊れた心をせめて包んで 	kowareta kokoro o semete tsutsunde
 	
傾いた気持ちはやがて 	katamuita kimochi wa yagate
秘密ばかり増やしてたこと 	himitsu bakari fuyashiteta koto
また一つ「変わらないで」と 	mata hitotsu "kawaranai de" to
頬の紅を崩してたこと 	hoo no beni o kuzushiteta koto
 	
降り続く雨がやがて洗い流した 	furitsuzuku ame ga yagate arainagashita
鮮やかな色を付けた雪の椿の様に 	azayaka na iro o tsuketa yuki no tsubaki no you ni
 	
の夢がいつか覚めたなら 	karisome no yume ga itsuka sameta nara
貴方を探して何処へと進むだろう 	anata o sagashite doko e to susumu darou
ささやかな願い事をしたことも 	sasayakana negaigoto o shita koto mo
見渡す景色も忘れてくだろう 	miwatasu keshiki mo wasureteku darou
 	
遥か遠く離れて それはとても儚く 	haruka tooku hanarete sore wa totemo hakanaku
過去もも全てを 託していくなら 	kako mo ima mo subete o takushite iku nara
 	
終わらない雨の中で抱きしめて 	owaranai ame no naka de dakishimete
貴方が答えを探しているのなら 	anata ga kotae o sagashite iru no nara
雪椿 紅く染まる花びらに 	yuki tsubaki akaku somaru hanabira ni
今宵を預けて迷い続けた 	koyoi o azukete mayoi tsuzuketa
