Thick is the blood and thin is the bond
The western son with his eastern ghost
Forty years was too long to hope
Disappear and reappear
Now that you're no more
Every time it repeats in my dreams
Now that you're no more
You've never been so close

A thousand miles away
It doesn't count
Can't keep vows and smile
Bye now
Bow my head in disarray
A million miles, your new hideaway
Your new hideaway

Nine times around a shrine
Casket's closed and turned to ashes and coins
It was too much to ask
To take such a task
Your face's fading out
Now that you're no more
We carry your load
Now you're gone
You've never been so close
A thousand miles away
It doesn't count
Can't keep vows and smile
Bye now
Bow my head in disarray
A million miles, your last hideaway
Your last hideaway
