Now it’s time

Sayonara leaves falling

Back to the world

Sayonara life’s calling

You will stay

But still you’ll be walking with me


See the girl, sitting in the temple

talking

The woods listen in,

Softly supporting,

And one tiny bird

wants to join in and be heard


She sits in the window

And smiles in the sun’s glow

A vision in white and light

You haven’t seen her

But you have believed in her

Deep in you mind you’ll find...her.


Now it’s time

Sayonara Nara ah leaving

Walking away

Sayonara Nara ah grieving

You will stay

And I will return someday.
