I do not own this song. This is but a translation of the original work.

This is a song from an old time Japanese rock group, Crystal King. Crystal King first gained popularity in 1980 with their hit song "Daitokai." Though you can often tell by their music, they have often been called the "Beatles of Japan." They are probably best remembered by their song "Ai o Torimodose!!" for the hit anime series, Hokuto no Ken.
Much like the title, the lyrics are heartfelt. They tell a story lost love and wanting to "go back to that time." Masayuki Tanaka high pitched vocals really bring the the "cry from the heart," that heart wrenching feeling a love no more.

Lyrics:
Falling leaves gather in the city streets
And the autumn wind comes to a stand
The town brimming with joy
Yet the darkness takes me away
We're still looking for the meaning of love
But it constantly escapes us
Everything reminds me that dream
An illusion of days no more

Falling stars gather in a clear night sky
But regret still clouds my mind
I keep losing track of time
To this bitter feeling called love
I can't say how I feel
The words won't come out
I can't get back to that dream
That illusion of days no more

枯葉を拾う舗道には
秋風も立ち止まる
真昼の街の賑わいが
夕闇に連れ去られ
愛の答えを求めて
彷徨った 二人だけど
何もかも あの頃の夢
過ぎた日の幻と諦め

星屑の空 晴れた夜
少しだけ 心残り
時の流れが 忘れさす
恋という哀しみを
他の人へは囁く
言葉さえ捜せない
帰らない あの頃の夢
過ぎた日の 幻と諦め
