[Intro] (shakuhachi solo, distant taiko) [Verse 1] Silver light on a narrow road No lantern, no sign, no name I know The pines bend low in silent prayer A stranger walks beneath the air That the moon has watched for ages [Pre-Chorus] I lost my way a long time ago But something white still calls me low It doesn't speak, it doesn't ask It just falls through the branches — ask me [Chorus] Moonlight on a wandering soul Carving a path I cannot steal You are the only fixed star here The only light I hold dear Shine on me, I'll walk the night The night was made for ones who walk Alone, but never cold Because you are still cold No — because you are still here [Breakdown] (koto and shamisen, taiko pulse) (whispered: tsukiyo... tsukiyo...) [Verse 2] The mountain path has no end in sight My shadow stretches, thin and white But where I step, you step with me Across the fields of cold decree You are the lantern I don't carry Yet I am never in the dark [Pre-Chorus] The world below is loud and far You pull the quiet back like a scar And mend it with your silver thread A quiet word inside my head [Chorus] Moonlight on a wandering soul Carving a path I cannot steal You are the only fixed star here The only light I hold dear Shine on me, I'll walk the night The night was made for ones who walk Alone, but never lost Because you are what I count Not the road — you are what counts [Outro] (shakuhachi fades, single taiko hit) (tsukiyo... tsukiyo...)
