The Reason

There’s a sunbeam tickling
Your bare skin as you sleep
I lay silent hardly breathing
I don’t want you to wake up
No, not yet
I don’t think I’m ready
To face the day without you around
Sure we’ll send messages but there’s a certain warmth
That does not travel by telephone lines
Don’t wake up, drift a bit longer in the realm of dreams
And don’t you fret, I am here to guard them and do
The worrying for two anyway
So much to worry about with each and every day
The great barrier reef died, a bombing again, letters from the tax office arrived today
And you came late at night and you were not picking up my calls
And I knew you’d drive without your glasses on
I’d never really prayed but I did when my best friend was in the hospital
He’s gone now so I guess there is no use in talking to the heavens above about us, is there?
Yet sometimes I do
I can’t afford to lose you
Somehow this terror is so brand new
This is no prison, it’s a vast, a wide open sky
Love is the reason we live and die
This is no prison, it’s a vast, a wide open sky
Love is the reason we live and die
This is no prison, it’s a vast, a wide open sky
Love is the reason we live and die

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain
Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
