[Intro]
It was written in 3 lines of 5, then 7, then 5 syllables to make a total of 17 syllables
Bashō took this opening verse, the Hokku, and refined it to become what is now known as the Haiku
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Nights that end in tears
Days I often skip my meals
Don’t know how I feel
Hm
Mornings where I crave
Someone else to say my name
Freezing in the rain
Hm
Evenings I’m alone
In my house without a home
All this disappeared
When I found you
[Chorus 1]
Near (x5)
[Verse 2]
Nights they turned too bright
Even as I close my eyes
You stay in my mind
Hm
Underneath the roof
Nestled up against you
Warmth that I can’t lose
Oh
Standing in the rain
I reach out and say your name
Wishing you were here
Although you’re far I
[Chorus 2]
Hear (x5)
Ooh
