Fairweather Friend

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
