Hah...

What I found long ago
In the endless maze
Was what you had always searched for --
A Virgin Mary in the rain.

Already impatient,
I peeked into the shell,
Leaving behind
Only a mischievous, glittering trail of footprints.

I feel happiness
Spreading damply
Through my rain-weathered body, ah...

I check the damp air,
And hurry along...
Lowering my eyes
At strong stimuli, like a snail.

What I still want now
Is security for tomorrow;
You always just smile --
That's all you do. [1]

Now it's too late
For me to do anything,
No matter how much I struggle, ah...

Don't show a damp face;
Don't cry...
Morning will come.
You just haven't noticed, like a snail.

These feelings I can't express,
And your existence
Is so annoying, ah...

I'm so tired of waiting
That I can't breathe --
If I shoved you away,
To the end of the world
With this sigh,
Would you even notice?
You're
A coward, like a snail,
Aren't you?

Hah...
