THE CEILING ABOVE HEADS Lyrics

I wake up in the middle of the night and count the grains on the ceiling

My grandfather sleeps beside me in the house that my grandpa built for him

I wake up the next morning to the sound of a cat dancing in the garden

On the desk are dried persimmons and icing sugar

I eagerly await Grandma's homemade cooking

Many years have passed since then, and I've grown up

There's something I want to tell you

Something I haven't been able to say for a long time

I wake up in the middle of the night

And the ceiling is just a plain piece of crossed-out paper

Beside me, my daughter is breathing in her sleep

I wake up in the middle of the night and the ceiling is just a plain cross

Beside me, my daughter is breathing in her sleep

夜中に目が覚めて天井の木目を数えてみる

横では祖父が寝息をたててる　じいちゃんこだわりの一軒家

庭では猫が踊っている　翌朝目が覚めて聞こえてくる

心地よい支度の音　机の上は干し柿と氷砂糖

ばあちゃん得意の手料理を　今かいまかと待ち侘びる

あれから長い年月が経って　僕は大人になった

あなたに言いたいことがある　ずっと言えなかったことがある

夜中に目が覚めて天井はただの無地のクロス紙

横では娘が寝息をたてている

夜中に目が覚めて天井はただ無地のクロス紙

横では娘が寝息をたてている
