London Eye

As the flowing river runs toward the sea,
Like the London Eye gazing upon the Thames,
My eternal love simply flows away.

Even in the moment we hold hands,
Looking into each other's eyes,
And whisper our love,

As the Thames flows beneath the London Bridge,
My love, too, simply flows away like that.

My love also vanishes
Into an unknown, fleeting mist,

And the chimes of Big Ben echo through the fog,
Leaving only tears to flow within my memories.

My love was the wave of my eternal sea,
Crying out toward you.

Oh, thou chimes echoing through the mist,
Toll for me!

My love still remains with you.

Oh, thou darkness within the mist,
Come to me!

Carrying my tears upon the River Thames,
I shall offer my love to you,

For someday, my love
Will come before the London Eye.

O fierce wind, that seems to shake
A thousand years of time!
Come to me.

O my light, that seems to pierce
Through the clouds of the vast sky!

On the day you come to my side,
For your sake,
I shall become the chimes of Big Ben!
