Spring Steps on White Sand

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

The lake has only just smoothed away winter's creases

Low clouds catch the reflection of fresh green

An oriole chooses a sun-warmed branch

Swallows carry mud to mend their little home

[Pre-Chorus]

I put away the schedule that keeps hurrying me

Let a bird’s call decide where I go

[Chorus]

Entrust my footsteps to the White Sand Causeway

Walk more slowly to see spring's handwriting clearly

The colors of flowers have not yet filled this world

Tender grass has only just reached the traveling horses' hooves

It turns out joy can have no destination

A lakeful of gentle breezes is enough to keep me longing for a season

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]

Someone tries opening a new umbrella beside the bridge

Someone leaves their laughter at a little tea stall

Willow branches droop to groom the water's surface

I turn the bend, still reluctant to leave this stretch of sunlight

[Pre-Chorus]

I put away the schedule that keeps hurrying me

Let a bird’s call decide where I go

[Chorus]

Entrust my footsteps to the White Sand Causeway

Walk more slowly to see spring's handwriting clearly

The colors of flowers have not yet filled this world

Tender grass has only just reached the traveling horses' hooves

It turns out joy can have no destination

A lakeful of gentle breezes is enough to keep me longing for a season

[Bridge]

There is no need to wait until every flower has bloomed

Today's inexperience is worth cherishing too

I always used to put distant places first

Now I only want to linger a little longer with what is before me

[Final Chorus]

Entrust my footsteps to the White Sand Causeway

Walk more slowly to see spring's handwriting clearly

The colors of flowers have not yet filled this world

Tender grass has only just reached the traveling horses' hooves

It turns out joy can have no destination

A lakeful of gentle breezes is enough to keep me longing for a season

[Outro]

The sun lights the homeward road into a leisurely stroll

Tomorrow I still want to walk along the lake again
