Lyrics

[00:00.57] 竹轩 我爱国米
[00:43.28] Yet another morning
[00:45.66] that feels like this
[00:51.61] Yet another life's bitter kiss
[01:00.44] It has been like this for?I don't know how long
[01:08.80] I only know that at some point
[01:13.62] it all went wrong
[01:16.69] I don't remember much from last night
[01:25.34] but still far more than I would like to
[01:33.22] I'm floating downstream that damned river again
[01:41.61] What can I do now except continue
[01:49.68] and open a bottle once more
[01:58.02] What can I do now except see this through
[02:06.26] and float with the stream, off the shore
[02:14.05] see where the river will take me
[02:17.14]
[02:21.39] When I needed you, you weren't there?
[02:29.68] now I need booze like I need the air that I breathe
[02:38.44] With each drink I'm drifting further away from your world
[02:46.63] the further off I get the harder it will be to return
[02:56.50]
[03:15.58] It has been like this for?I don't know how long
[03:23.87] I only know that at some point
[03:28.61] it all went wrong
[03:31.32] Floating downstream that damned river again
[03:39.34] The river that's distilled from premium grain
[03:47.64] What can I do now except continue
[03:55.82] and open a bottle once more
[04:04.30] What can I do now except see this through
[04:12.49] and float with the stream, off the shore
[04:20.25] see where the river will take me
[04:32.93] see where the river will take me
[04:33.33]
