Lyrics of 夏の影 (Summer Shadow) by Mrs. GREEN APPLE
汗ばんだ
シャツで
未来を語るの
ゆっくりと
ゆっくりと
見えない速さで
進んでゆく
夏の暑さのせいにして
ただ 所為にして
火照った心を隠してる
夏の影のせいにして
また 所為にして
溶けた氷と時間を紡ぐの
吹いた
そよ風が
夏を揺らすの
日に焼けた
肌が
雲を動かすの
無垢な笑顔は
どこまで続いていけるの？
ゆっくりと
ゆっくりと
見えない速さで
大人になってゆく
夏の蝉のせいにして
ただ 所為にして
胸につかえた言葉は隠れる
夏の影のせいにして
また 所為にして
まだまだ溶けないで
コップの氷よ
過ごしていた
あの夏の思い出は
今でも瞼の裏で生きてる
恋をした
その夏に恋をしていた
あの風はどこかで
あなたに吹いていればいいな
