Inspired by my favorite Japanese film of 2012, Kamihate Shoten by Tatsuya Yamamoto
lyrics
When you reach your last stop
She be there
When come to the end of your rope
She be there
Before your final fall
Take off your shoes
Be prepared
For the next house you enter
When you’re feeling afraid
She be there
With a bottle of milk and some bread
She be there
The door’s always open to her dusty old shop
There’s not much on the shelves left to buy
But what little she has she will sell for a song
To any old traveler who happens along
She knows what they’re there for
She knows it and therefore
She shutters her heart
When you take your last leap
She be there
After you’ve become just a memory
She still will be there
