Track of the Day

Greedʼs all gone now, thereʼs no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ear
Regain your balance
Doesnʼt matter where she is tonight
Or with whoever she spends her time
If these arms were meant to hold her
They were never meant to hold her so tight
For the love of that girl
Greedʼs all gone now, panic subsides
When I could run, pulling arms to love her
Try to put myself on the inside
Of the love of that girl
Tears swell, you donʼt know why
For the love of that girl
They never fall, they can never run dry
For the love of that girl
Promise is never over, never questions that needed reply
But she could breathe deep into my neck
Let me know Iʼm just on the outside
Of the love of that girl
Tears swell, you donʼt know why
For the love of that girl
They never fall, they can never run dry
For the love of that girl
Greedʼs all gone now, thereʼs no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ears
Regain your balance
Doesnʼt matter where she is tonight
Or with whoever she spends her time
If these arms were meant to hold her
They were never meant to hold her so tight
For the love of that girl
Tears swell, you donʼt know why
For the love of that girl
They never fall, they can never run dry
For the love of that girl

A lonely room and empty chair
Another day so hard to bear
The things around me that I see remind me of
The past and how it all used to be

From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With days gone by when our hearts had all to give
From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With dreams you left behind
I'll keep on turning in my mind

There'll never be another you
No one will share the worlds we knew
And now that loneliness has come to take your place
I close my eyes and see your face

From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With days gone by when our hearts had all to give
From souvenirs to more souvenirs I live
With dreams you left behind
I'll keep on turning in my mind

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Don't let them win

(Hey now, hey now)

(Hey now, hey now)

Θα πεθάνω ένα πένθιμο του φθινοπώρου δείλι
Στίχοι: Κώστας Ουράνης
Μουσική: Διάφανα Κρίνα
Πρώτη εκτέλεση: Διάφανα Κρίνα

Θα πεθάνω ένα πένθιμο του φθινόπωρου δείλι
μες την κρύα μου κάμαρα όπως έζησα: μόνος
στη στερνή αγωνία μου τη βροχή θε ν' ακούω
και τους γνώριμους θόρυβους που σκορπάει ο δρόμος.

Θα πεθάνω ένα πένθιμο του φθινόπωρου δείλι
μέσα σ' έπιπλα ξένα και σε σκόρπια βιβλία,
θα με βρουν στο κρεβάτι μου, θε να 'ρθει ο αστυνόμος,
θα με θάψουν σαν άνθρωπο που δεν είχε ιστορία.

Απ' τους φίλους που παίζαμε πότε πότε χαρτιά,
θα ρωτήσει κανένας τους έτσι απλά: «Τον Ουράνη
μην τον είδε κανείς; Έχει μέρες που χάθηκε...».
Θ' απαντήσει άλλος παίζοντας: «Μ' αυτός έχει πεθάνει!».

Μια στιγμή θ' απομείνουνε τα χαρτιά τους κρατώντας,
θα κουνήσουν περίλυπα και σιγά το κεφάλι
θε να πουν: «Τι 'ναι ο άνθρωπος! Χθες ακόμα εζούσε...»
και βουβοί στο παιχνίδι τους θα βαλθούνε και πάλι.

Κάποιος θα 'ναι συνάδελφος στα «ψιλά» που θα γράψη
πως «προώρως απέθανεν ο Ουράνης στην ξένην,
νέος γνωστός εις τους κύκλους μας, κάποτε είχε εκδώσει
μια συλλογή ποιήματα πολλά υποσχομένην».

Κι αυτή θα 'ναι η μόνη του θανάτου μου μνεία.
Στο χωριό μου θα κλάψουνε μόνο οι γέροι γονιοί μου
και θα κάνουν μνημόσυνο με περίσσιους παπάδες,
όπου θα' ναι όλοι οι φίλοι μου - κι ίσως ίσως οι οχτροί μου.

Θα πεθάνω ένα πένθιμο του φθινόπωρου δείλι
σε μια κάμαρα ξένη, στο πολύβοο Παρίσι
και μια Καίτη, θαρρώντας πως την ξέχασα γι' άλλην,
θα μου γράψει ένα γράμμα - και νεκρό θα με βρίσει...
