-Lyrics-
by Ying (and like 1.5 stanza from ham lol)
From wintery slopes above the world below
Like feathers shimmering white; fluttering falling snow
Just the two together waiting embracing tight
Frozen breath, hand in hand; a tiny village at night
"This snow has come again, just like that day back then"
You whisper with a smile as we think to when we met
Flushing red I hid my face away from the heat
Sheltered in the shadows cast by your sleeve over me
Finally spring has come again
Together with the birds I sing a chorus with this endless breath of happiness
"When you sing, everything's beautiful" are the words you said to me
That alone, those words you spoke, brought me joy that I could not express
"If there's a day my voice has gone away; if I can't sing anymore,
Would you still be here with me; would you still love me as you did before?"
"But of course," was your reply to me as you smiled gently
And I knew if I'm with you, I would wish for nothing more
One summer afternoon when leaves were dappled blue
You tired as your sickness left you weaker than you knew
What we had living together could not afford
Remedies that were needed for curing you
So day by painful day, with no more time to waste,
While weaving at the loom I close my eyes and keep my faith
With these hands I fight the fluttering autumn leaves
Unlike their death, I couldn't let your life slip away
And so the seasons turn with time
The summer ending echoes with the chorus of the crickets chirping their goodbyes
"You hold beauty in your fingertips" are the words you said to me
Though you cradle my wounded hands while your own were cold as winter ice...
"If there's a day my hands have lost their glow and I can't weave anymore
Would you still be here with me; would you still love me as you did before?"
"But of course" was your reply to me as you coughed into your sleeve
And your hands, so much larger as they held the pain within my own
No time to sleep, I need to weave, I need to heal you somehow
-Ah, in the chilly sunset's breeze-
I'm racing time, it's flying by, your medication for its worth
-Swaying there decaying fruit slowly-
More, just a little more, just a little; Racing against the leaves fluttering
-On and on again, dying out, 'til the end-
Keep fighting 'til my fingers are nothing... Weaving until the feathers are all gone..
"If there's a day when I am not the same, not human anymore,
Would you still be here with me; would you still love me as you did before?"
To be honest I still fear the truth so I left it all untold
Reaching out, drifting down, the final feather falls alone...
"But of course" I whisper smiling just as I have done before
Keep my promise to embrace you; without wings I'll love you even more
And that crane which once so beautifully had taken flight that winter day
I'll remember for forever how you spread your wings and soared
And as always, for forever, 'til the end I'll love you as before
i made the mistake of putting this on halfspeed when typing up the lyrics (because i'm a dumbbutt and didn't want to find the gdoc) and lets just say it wasn't a good idea don't do it
"Money can't buy you happiness!" Yeah, but it can buy this lady the medicine for her freaking soulmate and then they could be happy! THROW MONEY AT YOUR SCREEN
smh len can you go
"babe would you still love me if I was a crane?" but on a whole new level. (half-joking)
oh heck when ham's voice kicked in i seriously started tearing up right away. you guys sound so pretty together i'm dying
After several years, I came back to listen to this cover again. "And as always, for forever, 'til the end, I'll love it as before" :^D
I remember listening this as a kid I didn't even know the story behind the song and I always listen to this since the vocals are amazing but when I found out the story I even got more addicted to this song until now my day would not be complete without listening to this
When Lucy gets to the high part with the harmony she sounds kinda like Rin XD
I love the desperation conveyed in the latter half of the song. It's just amazing how well the emotions come across.
Here from Hu Tao pulls, just now realizing you sang in this cover I've loved for the past year. Crazy small world!!!!
did anyone else cry at the end? :'(
Rin - "If there's a day when I am not the same, not human anymore, would you still be here with me; would you still love me as you did before?"
I usually don't like English covers, but, God, your voices were so beautiful together, and the English lyrics were different enough to not sound like a direct translation yet stay true to the story. You, good sir and madam, have my respect.

Happy 1 million views, everyone!! As ham so aptly put it, "1 MILLION BROKEN HEARTS BLESS..."
This is literally the best romance song I've ever heard and "when you sing everything's beautiful" literally describes how beautiful your voices are in this video, (also hello to a fellow Lucy ^^)
