    The Cliff

    by: Akeboshi

    so I'm back again
    in the town by the river
    where you and I first met before
    if I could see you now
    in that same situation
    I could give better vibrations to you
    seasons change with the scenery
    where you stand, what do you see
    twisted shadows in the burning sun
    you seem confused and lost
    in the cheerful sessions
    while they trade the stories and tunes
    you slowly spoke your mind
    about what's going on in your life
    on our way to the cliff
    seasons change with the scenery
    where you stand, what can you see
    twisted shadows in the burning sun
    branching off ahead there lies a road
    and a world that we haven't seen
    if I could see you now and talk again
    on that road going down to the sea
    seasons change with the scenery
    where you stand, what can you see
    twisted shadows in the burning sun
    I've come back again
    to the town by the river
    where you and I first met before
    if I could see you now and talk again
    on that road going up to the sky
    seasons change with the scenery
    where you stand, what do you see
    twisted shadows in the burning sun
