Moonlit Cliff

“HELLO HELLO,” he said to her silhouette
The beautiful one he was thankful that he met.
It was late at night, with a moon so full and blue
When he fell in love with the girl who was true.

“HELLO HELLO,” she said to his sins
With a promise to love him again and again.
And then, there was a dangerous thought to face;
His soul was the only poison she wanted to taste.

Oh is it, is it just an old myth
That two lovers said hello to love at the moonlit cliff?

“GOODBYE GOODBYE,” she said to his sins
With a promise to love him, never again.
And then, there was a dangerous thought to face;
Death was the only poison left for her to taste.

“GOODBYE GOODBYE,” he said to her silhouette
The beautiful one he wished he had never met.
It was late at night, under a moon so blue,
When he found that death was his only love still true.

Oh is it, is it just an old myth
That two lovers said goodbye to life at the moonlit cliff?
