Coaltar of the Deepers

Good Morning

From the album No Thank You

Morning, my eyes open and I look over.
Asa, me ga samete futoyoko o miru
朝、目が覚めてフト横を見る

You aren�t here any more, but
Mou kimi wa inai no ni
もう君はいないのに

The morning sun is so, so bright
Asahi ga totemo, totemo mabushikutsute
朝日がとても とてもまぶしくつて

It reminds me of your kindness.
Omoidasu kimi no yasashisa
思い出す君のやさしさ

I change clothes like always
Itsumo no you ni fuku o kigaete
いつものように服を着替えて

Get ready and go out on the town
Shitaku o shite machi ni deru
仕度をして街に出る

What is there enough of, what is missing?
Nani ga taritete, nani ga tarinai no?
何が足りてて 何が足りないの?

I�m never noticing these things.
Sonna koto o kizukanu mama
そんな事も気づかぬまま

Morning, my eyes open and I look over.
Asa, me ga samete futoyoko o miru
朝、目が覚めてフト横を見る

You aren�t here any more, but
Mou kimi wa inai no ni
もう君はいないのに

When you died I thought it was the end for me.
Kimi ga shinda toki mou dame ka to omotta
君が死んだ時もうだめかと思った

But now it�s all but forgotten.
Demo ima wa wasurekaketeru
でも今は忘れかけてる
