Love Drifts Away (Ai wa Nagareru)

Originally Sung by Mari Ijima as Lynn Minmay

Insert Song from SDF Macross

Time will always flow on by, 
love will always grow, then die
You walk past like a ghost,
somber and solemnly slow

Aren't you going off to fight?
Tell me that you'll come back alive!

All the men in my town are marching,
step-by-step, they follow the beat
Their faces twist in a frown; they look ahead, never down
And their stomping boots are the only sound

Just like that, I'm left behind
left with no glory or pride.
"For the sake of the war"
justified with pretty words

Time will always flow on by,
love will always grow then die
Never knowing peace, at last I cry

*

Time will always flow on by,
love will always grow, then die
I stood, watching you go,
face as pale as winter snow

Once again I'm left behind,
why do people always fight?

All the women and kids are sighing,
wistfully they stare at the sky

So buckle up, weary soldiers, 
set your feet out of the door.
Til' you're back at home and safe once more

Generals and lords will say,
"Fight to live another day."
Is it worth the price you might pay?
"Only if the children are saved."

Time will always flow on by,
love will always grow, then die
I hope peace will come...
for everyone
