Shiragiku 白菊

steam is rising
from the old hot spring
and the town is gone
Shiragiku 
white chrysanthemum 
fills my lungs

do you carry the candle? 
walking into ash
do you carry the candle? 
child of the past 

in Italy I saw a face

who's this stranger
speaking language
I've yet heard before
they took me 
into their home
of waterfalls

do you carry the candle? 
walk right into wax
do you carry the candle? 
my child of the past 

in Italy I saw a face
that I could never erase

will you carry the candle? 
walking into ash
do you carry the candle? 
child of the past 

in Italy I saw a face
that I could never erase
