I can honestly picture this song being sang by both Reki or Rakka.

This is the episode I have the hardest time with. I cry every time. I'll post the lyrics to the ED, or at least one translation of them. It doesn't quite match the translation in my copy of the anime, but that's how it is with translating poetry; everything is idiomatic and full of allusions. Anyway, here:
Even if I look up
And call your name to the skies
It just drifts off into the wind...
Feelings of
Wanting to be born again
As the me you know
On a silent night
Birds of glass
Unable to love one another
Dreaming in the warmth
Sleeping in a boat
Within myself
On the swaying, swaying
Surface of a premonition
Don't come near
I'm fading away
My heart is melting into bubbles
Looking up to the sky
I keep calling out your name
Sleeping
I hold in my heart
That look that seems to whisper to me
Now, I sleep
Don't come near
I'm fading away
My heart is melting into bubbles
Within myself
The dream is trembling, trembling
