A Wet Stain on My Blue Robe

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

When the weather turned cool, I drank a few extra cups

The wine's haze rises with the sound of rain

Raindrops tapped the window all night

Like someone quietly weeping outside

I am trapped in the haze of wine

Counting raindrops until dawn before I stop

[Pre-Chorus]

The incense in the burner has burned past halfway

The curling wisps of smoke are all autumn’s moods

[Chorus]

I had only just said do not grieve, when tears wet my clothes

A single stroke soaked into my blue robe

Lying alone, bored beyond measure

In a snap of the fingers, the lovely days have passed

I remember when I said goodbye to her

Peach blossoms bloom among countless willow strands

[Verse 2]

I had only just talked myself through it

I promised myself I would be stronger

Before the words had even faded

Tears have already fallen all over the ground

That one stain on my blue robe

Is even more pathetic than the raindrops

[Pre-Chorus]

I lie down, then sit up again

As dull as a ring of ripples

[Chorus]

I had only just said do not grieve, when tears wet my clothes

A single stroke soaked into my blue robe

Lying alone, bored beyond measure

In a snap of the fingers, the lovely days have passed

I remember when I said goodbye to her

Peach blossoms bloom among countless willow strands

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

I remember the morning I saw her off

The peach blossoms bloomed for no reason at all

Willow branches hang in countless strands

One gust of wind tangles their order

She takes a few steps with her head bowed

You turned back to look at me more than once

[Bridge]

Spring feels like only yesterday

In a finger snap, it turns to autumn rain

Peach blossoms have faded and willow leaves have yellowed

Her messages sink to the ocean floor

Those countless green willow strands of days gone by

Have now become bare branches in the rain

Only I remember that day

Remembering that day as an eternal mystery

[Verse 4]

The rain has stopped and I am sober

Autumn has deepened another shade

I hang up my blue robe

Let the sun dry that stain

And what of the mark inside my heart

Can only wait for time to heal it slowly

[Final Chorus]

I had only just said do not grieve, when tears wet my clothes

A single stroke soaked into my blue robe

Lying alone, bored beyond measure

In a snap of the fingers, the lovely days have passed

I remember when I said goodbye to her

Peach blossoms bloom among countless willow strands

[Outro]

The last of the incense has burned away

Autumn's mood still lingers in the rain
