Shizumanu Taiyo
Song Lyrics I wrote to a melody played by vionlinist Diana Yakawa who's Father was among the 520 who died when Japanese Airlines flight 123 crashed into a mountainside on August 12, 1985. She was born 5 weeks later on Sep. 16th. Shiaumanu Taiyo translates to "The Never Setting Sun". her performance is on YouTube. (Diana Yukawa/Shizumanu Taiyo) It's haunting.
Your blood runs through me, it runs like rivers
that feed the mountains where last you lay.
You never held me, but I have held you,
in every sweet dream, you run to me.
Into the twilight, off to horizons,
where tearful memories, are yet to fade -
but now the promises of never setting suns
will always beckon me, and light my way
and always light my way...
37 second interlude
Your blood runs through me, it runs like rivers
that feed the mountains where last you lay.
You never held me, but I have held you,
in every sweet dream, you run to me...
