And you reach your fingertips to its
然后您将指尖伸向它的

It sings out a name, a life light like a cold spring

Stairs on your big brows

You sweat on the gears

Pulse, pulse, Mist rewind and unfold

As my lonely soul stumbles

On the dark, invisible pane

That body of heat, the touch of a crane

They heard a voice covered in gowns, heavenly
framed
