"You Were There" lyrics
The island bathes in the sun's bright rays.
Distant hills wear a shroud of grey.
A lonely breeze whispers in the trees.
Sole witness to history.
Fleeting memories rise,
From the shadows of my mind.
Sing "Nonomori", endless corridors...
Say "Nonomori", hopeless warriors...
You were there...
You were there...
Am I forever dreaming,
How to define the way I'm feeling.
You were there.
Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep...
You were there.
Though forgotten all promises we keep...
Slaves to our destiny.
I recall a melody.
Sing "Nonomori", seasons lit with gold...
Say "Nonomori", legends yet untold...
You were there...
You were there...
Happiness follows sorrow.
Only believing in tomorrow.
You were there.
Countless visions they haunt me in my sleep...
You were there.
Though forgotten all promises we keep...
The island bathes in the sun's bright rays.
Distant hills wear a shroud of grey.
A lonely breeze whispers in the trees.
Sole key to this mystery...
