Taking Sweet Shelter feat. Shoko Nakagawa
At the start, we said in unison:
"Well, it's fine - I like the rain..."
I had kept my right side pretty dry,
but my left was already soaked...
Why don't we both take half of it?
Can't we share an umbrella yet?
If it were just you who got wet,
that would seem a little unfair...
Even when the rain has ceased,
just say you'll still be near me, please?
Will we have to split away, or can we together stay?
Will the raindrops tell me which?
Lead me by the hand,
and with the world, we'll start
a big game of hide-and-seek
With our umbrellas, we hide,
so you can't see from outside
just how red our cheeks are getting...
And there's not a soul around to see,
we'd get away with it scot-free
In the rain, I plead:
take sweet shelter with me...
But, just as I thought it,
there was someone looking at us.
Our perfect crime, now,
was anything, far from perfect
You chuckled softly, "A little too small, I'm guessing?"
But I'm not laughing; this isn't the time!
But confronted with this trial, you took off running,
dashing straight on ahead,
and leaving me in the rain, but
soon enough you came back to me,
and held an umbrella:
yes, another,
the very same kind...
If we're hiding, this will do,
and this time, we'll be using two
Even though we come apart,
soon enough we come together,
face to face, I feel your hands...
Lead me by the hand,
and with the world, we'll start
a big game of hide-and-seek
With our umbrellas, we hide,
so you can't see from outside
just how red our cheeks are getting...
No one else was standing on the street,
just you and I could see the feat
That's how our first kiss
turned out to be so sweet...
Thinking on the past,
and looking forward to all that the future has in store,
even if we have to fight, I think I'll be alright,
with you forevermore...
And whenever you're awash with tears,
hold up a small umbrella here,
and we'll hide them so
the world will never know it...
