Nagai Ryuun...Looking Back Lyrics and Composition: Nagai Ryuun Arrangement: Hagita Mitsuo From the single CD "Looking Back - Letters to a Friend" (2016-09-21) Also included in the album "Oibito" (2017-12-13) I call my hometown once every three days from the red public phone at the tobacco shop I put 10 yen coins in my right hand and turned the dial with my left hand I speak quickly, feeling guilty about not being able to reply to the letter You nod "Uh huh" I start to say something and the call is cut off If only I didn't have dreams I would have wanted to go home right away If only I didn't have dreams I would have wanted to be by your side Decades have passed since I got off the sleeper train, and I longed for the city Looking back, what did I gain from it? A feeling of empty resignation, a little bit of resourcefulness, regret for losing you, and the sadness that can't fill it all, and dreams were the only thing that supported my heart Dreams were the only thing I could be proud of about you If only I didn't have dreams I would have wanted to go home right away If only I didn't have dreams I would have wanted to be by your side
