Dear Mother
Lyrics & Music by MARTH
I can see sweet old sea from a train window
I’m coming closer to my hometown.
Mom looked a little weary, she was waiting for me at the station.
I felt sorry to see her never-changing smile
Hurt in a big city, I lost something
I found another thing while chasing after my dream
I can’t do anything with this inexpressible, precious something
Because I never expected it was so close to me.
Having a heartache makes me feel happy
I was too tense to feel anything
Familiar sound of my mom cooking and her back somehow makes me cry
Coming far will surely let you know something precious
You somehow felt in your heart it was not what you expected.
I hated songs of insects and smells of the grass in those days
Dad treated me as if nothing was happening
Dear Mother, Dear Father
Dear hometown, something I hated…
Something I loved…
Something you hated more than anything
Something you want to accept more than anything
