(2024 Alternative EACH TIME Version)

Lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto Composition/Arrangement by Eiichi Ohataki Eiichi Ohtaki with Kentaro Takeda Recording & Mixed by Kentaro Takeda [] 時計は無言でまわるけれど 面影ばかりは消せないね 都会がくれた粋なはからいさ ラッシュのホームで君と 冬の色の風に吹かれた 落ち葉たちが通りを走ってゆく 幸福みたいでホッとしたよ 「まあね」と笑った横顔の 淡いかげがショーウィンドウに映ってる ぼんやりみとれていたよ 時が刻む深い淵を 埋めつくせる言葉は無いんだね つい「お前」と呼びかけそうさ 昔の口癖でね 話すことは山ほどあるはずなのに 今は話題も途切れたまま 時計に視線を落とすたびに 待ってる誰かを暗示して 都会がくれた罪な偶然さ 「食事はどう」って聞いた 立ち止まって一瞬困った表情さ じゃあ 引き止めて御免 枝を離れたふたつの葉は 風に散るしかない English) The clock silently ticks away But the traces remain, don’t they? Urban sophistication bestowed upon us You and I at the rush hour platform Blown by the winter-colored wind Leaves running through the streets It felt like happiness, I sighed in relief The faint profile, smiling and saying ’Well, yeah,’ Reflecting in the shop window I was absentmindedly captivated There are no words to fill The deep abyss that time carves I almost called out ’Hey, you’ With that old habit of mine Though there should be mountains of things to talk about Now the conversation trails off Every time I glance at the clock It hints at someone waiting The accidental sin bestowed by the city ’I hope the meal is alright,’ I asked You paused for a moment, looking puzzled Then said, ’No, thank you for holding me back’ The two leaves detached from the branch Have no choice but to scatter in the wind.
