ii. Walking Through the South Mountain Fields
The autumn wilds bright, Autumn wind white. Pool-water deep and clear, Insects whining, Clouds rise from rocks, On moss-grown mountains. cold reds weeping dew, Colour of graceful crying.

Wilderness fields in October - Forks of rice. Torpid fireflies, flying low, Start across dike-paths. Water flows from veins of rocks, Springs drip on sand. Ghost-lanterns like lacquer lamps Lighting up pine-flowers.

 * "Wedding Dress" (English) by Taeyang**

Never should've let you go Never found myself at home Ever since that day that you walked Right out the door

You were like my beating heart That I, I can't control Even though we've grown apart My brain cant seem to let you go

Thinking back to the old times When you kept me up late at night We use to mess around Laugh and play, fuss and fight

I guess its too late, I'm dancing this dance alone This chapters done, the story goes on

Baby Can't believe that you are not with me 'Cause you should be my lady All I want is to set your heart free

But if you believe that you belong with him Promise me, you wont let anyone hurt you Remember, I will always be here for you Even if it kills me to see you

In that wedding dress, dress Oh see you in that wedding dress, dress See you in that wedding dress, dress Oh see you in that wedding dress, oh no

Snappin' out this misery Depression this ain't me But I always turn around 180 degrees

You got control of me And I, I cant explain Somebody call 911 Emergency Before I go insane

Since you've moved on You took a piece of me give it back So much pain in my chest Blacking out, heart attack (Pre-Chorus) I guess its too late, I'm dancing this dance alone It's too late

Baby Can't believe that you are my big me 'Cause you should be my lady All I want is to set your heart free

But if you believe that you belong with him Promise me, you wont let anyone hurt you Remember, I will always be here for you Even if it kills me to see you

In that wedding dress, dress Oh see you in that wedding dress, dress See you in that wedding dress, dress Oh see you in that wedding dress, oh no

And I see you with your man and it's hard to understand If we belong, if I did you wrong, where we even began We would always fuss and fight and it seems nothing was right But I loved you girl and you were my world but you'd never trust this guy 'Cause the things I do when I'm on the stage, they say I'm a superstar You couldn't understand all the female fans and then we grew apart And I just don't get when you're acting like some other person But I try my best to hold on at the times when it ain't working And every time that you say it's over it breaks my heart and I don't know why 'Cause you've done it a lot of times in the past but I get back up and try You said we could work it out, how could you hurt me now And you moved on to the next, I'm left with an imperfect smile

But if you believe that you belong with him Promise me, you wont let anyone hurt you Remember, I will always be here for you Even if it kills me to see you

In that wedding dress, dress Oh see you in that wedding dress, dress See you in that wedding dress, dress Oh see you in that wedding dress, oh no
