狐灯の縁

霧の小道を抜けた先 古い鳥居が月を抱く 鈴の音ひとつ夜に溶け 白いキツネが振り返る 何も言わないその瞳 凍った心をほどいてく 狐火 ゆらり ゆらり 闇に咲く淡い光 失くした声を救うように 君は静かにそばにいる 狐火 ほろり ほろり 夜が優しく変わってゆく 社殿の影に眠る風 遠い祈りが耳を撫でる 君の足跡たどるたび 昔の傷が薄れてく 明けの霞が立つころに 白い姿は霧に溶けた 狐火 ゆらり ゆらり 心に灯る守り火 出会えたことが幻でも ぬくもりだけは消えないよ 狐火 ほろり ほろり 私はそっと歩き出す

Past the misty path I wandered through an ancient gate cradles the moon a single bell note melts into the night a white fox turns its head to me Those eyes that never say a word unravel the ice around my heart Foxfire flickers, soft and slow a pale glow blooming in the dark as if to save the voice I lost you stay so quietly by my side Foxfire trembles, light as tears the night is gently turning kind A wind asleep in the shrine's deep shade a distant prayer brushes past my ear each time I trace the steps you left the old wounds slowly fade away When the dawn's first haze begins to rise your white form dissolved into the mist Foxfire flickers, soft and slow a guardian flame lit in my chest even if our meeting was a dream this warmth alone will never fade Foxfire trembles, light as tears and quietly I start to walk
