Everyday
Let the winds of carefreeness
Carry my spirit away

A feather flying a gentle breeze
A nostalgic feeling of gazing
At a distant mountain light
The blue and orange moods
Of the evening sunset
Silhouetting the bare branches
Of a dark desolate tree
Carry my spirit away

The mountain monkeys
Flying in the fog
The misty breeze
The scent of mud
Filling my lungs
Carry my spirit away

Into the dark night
Into the twilight of city lights
Sparkle my soul
And the fountain of joy
In my heart
Carry my spirit away

This eternal beautiful night!
Let time flow slow
That I remember this sight
And the songs of the mountain
That I behold
Till my last day.
