Fairweather Friend - Kadhja Bonet

We sat beneath a tree who wept in shades of pink

And Spring devolved her speech, the blossoms peaking

With borrowed comfort sipped from bottles made of glass

Ah, Sakura, mono no aware

O, fairweather friend, bending away for the touch of light

O, fair thee well friend, all that I ask is you say goodbye

Along a failing climb, we danced without our wits

Suspended curly wisps -- like clouds of cirrus

Hakanai koi, amai Sakura

Ah, Sakura, mono no aware

O, fairweather friend, bending away for the touch of light

O, fair thee well friend, all that I ask is you say goodbye

Below the waning moon, we chilled our sticky cheeks

And Neptune played a song -- as dreams were changing

The moments that will last were never made of tact

Ah, Sakura, mono no aware
