Why does everything precious slip away?

Like trying to catch some with your hands,

so all that's left are memories.

Why does everything precious end like the day?

Like a sunset with its burning brands,

so all that's left is a fading mystery.

Why does everything precious fade away?

Like a dream you try to catch from dream land,

only to awake and find nothing but fantasies.
