Lyrics: Wakako Kaku
Music/Arrangement: Yoko Kanno
Performed by: Akino Arai

The first word was "dream,"
it came to me as I slept.
Gently bringing out the darkness
deep inside my heart.

The second word was "wind,"
show me the way....
I beat my wings and
fly into the arms of God.

As if counting out the sorrows
that have melted all away,
as the golden apples fall.

Falling one at a time...
to a place with nothing to see
a place where I must return.

A place I have only one goal in life to struggle
to get back to.

An old book of magic spells...

The curtain of the silent moonlight night holds,
the promise of our being together again.

Only that...

We can fly. We have wings.
We can touch floating dreams.
Call me from so far...
Through the wind in the light.

The third word that came was hmmm...
If I can just listen closely....
These trembling arms of yours that I hold,
I can gently set free.

Pioneer Translation from Deathlok

The first word in my dreams
I could clearly see
Planet Eden high beyond the skies

Beautiful and sad
is this story I'll tell
of the winged travellers eager

'twas one day
the wind guided him where to go
like an eagle high above he flew

Waving from down below
he flew out of sight
into the mystical darkness

Neither a smile nor a cry
I gave when he left
feeling my spleen decline

And hoping
one day we'd fly over
back to the places we once shared

Where vessels glide
in silky waves and of gold
deep in the gulf such planet lies

Surrounded by this universe
of love and hate
confusion breaks through and dwells.
