Yuube mita yume ga nazeka atama kara hanarenai yo
Kuzure ochiru tou no naka
Ikura tasuke motomete mo sakebi utsuro ni hibiku dake
Dareka koko kara tsure dashite

Hikari to kage no rabirinsu deguchi mitsu kara nai mama
Itsuka kagayaku sono toki wo yume miteta
Daijobu dayo kitto jibun ni ii kikasete
Ashita ni mukatte yukkuri to
Aruki dashite miru yo mou ichido

Te ni shita mono wa itsu datte sugu ni yubi no sukima kara
Kobore ochite yuku keredo
Koko mune no okuni ima mo aku chiisana honoo wa
Kieru koto naku yurete iru

Hikari to kage no rabirinsu kaki kisare souna omoi
Dakishime nagara ikiteta yo itsu datte
Daijobu dayo kitto hitori tsubuyaite miru
Zutto egaiteta ashita wo
Shinjite mitai mou ichido

Hikari to kage no rabirinsu deguchi mitsu kara nai mama
Itsuka kagayaku sono toki wo yume miteta
Daijobu dayo kitto jibun ni ii kikasete
Ashita ni mukatte yukkuri to
Aruki dashite miru yo mou ichido

Hikari to kage no rabirinsu daijobu dayo kitto
Mou ichido ashita e to aruki dashite miyou yo


English Translation

Last night I had a satisfying dream, but now my head is empty
I fell and shattered inside
I asked for assistance, but my yell just came back emptily
Someone in this place should come to keep me company

I'm in a labyrinth of shadows and lights, the secret exit is empty enough as it is
Until that time my shining dreams will stay concealed
And I assure myself that it will be okay and good
Tomorrow I will slowly face my fears
Only to see that I have already destroyed them

I can get lost in anything but soon my fingertips will find the crevice
However, I'll stay calm and die in a flood
Now, in this place, my heart opens to the small flames
This place vanished and I awaken, shaking and crying

I'm in a labyrinth of shadows and lights, and disastrous flaming memories
I'm held tightly, though leaving was a mistake
"Surely, it's okay" I mutter to them, and I see
An eternal smiling face
Tomorrow I will face my reality

I'm in a labyrinth of shadows and lights, the secret exit is empty enough as it is
Until that time my shining dreams will stay concealed
And I assure myself that it will be okay and good
Tomorrow I will slowly face my fears
Only to see that I have already destroyed them

I'm in a labyrinth of shadows and lights, and I know that it's okay
Because tomorrow's nightmares have already been destroyed

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
