Loss in Blues

[Verse 1]
Neon lights in the rainy alley shatter into stardust,
Clinging to the threads of time on your coat,
Heartbeats tangled in the grooves of the record player,
A note changes, awakening the sleeping night.

[Pre-Chorus]
Breathing is like an unopened letter,
Words getting stuck between your lips,
The tides in your eyes overflow onto the piano keys,
Playing a tune of the south, exchanging half a lifetime of tenderness.

[Chorus]
Love is a boat rocking in the wind and moonlight,
Docking with the creases of time,
If time is an itch, you're the half-priced remedy,
Drunk on the edge of your brow, pain in your fingertips,
Singing a song of "The Rose" before it withers,
Red lips kissing the cracks of old records,
Letting regrets and passion sleep together in the neon lights.

[Verse 2]
Shadows on the stone gate write poetry,
Faded strokes hiding your name,
Plane tree leaves wrapped in the sighs of Wu dialect,
A tear falls into the ripples of the Huangpu River.

[Bridge]
Taking a current of electricity through the past,
Electricity passing through the rolled hems of cheongsam,
You say "forever" is a half-finished scroll,
But I insist on singing about the three thousand realms of the mundane.

[Repeat Chorus]
Love is a boat rocking in the wind and moonlight,
Docking with the creases of time,
If time is an itch, you're the half-priced remedy,
Drunk on the edge of your brow, pain in your fingertips,
Singing a song of "The Rose" before it withers,
Red lips kissing the cracks of old records,
Letting regrets and passion sleep together in the neon lights.
