Fish and Bird

Δεν θα λέγατε ότι είναι εντελώς ισορροπημένο ένα άτομο που ακούει Tom Waits καθισμένο σ’ ένα παγκάκι μέσα στη συνεχιζόμενη έκπαγλη λιακάδα της χριστουγεννιάτικης Αθήνας.
Κι όμως, έχω εκπαιδευτεί να ισορροπώ θαυμάσια ανάμεσα σε δύο κόσμους, και σε τρεις και σε τέσσερις μη σας πω…


They bought a round for the sailor
And they heard his tale
Of a world that was so far away
And a song that we'd never heard
A song of a little bird
That fell in love with a whale

He said: you cannot live in the ocean
And she said to him:
You never can live in the sky
But the ocean is filled with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
There's a whale in the moon when it's clear
And a bird on the tide

Oh, please don't cry
Let me dry your eyes
So tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
I'll never sail back to the time
But I'll always pretend you're mine
Though I know we both must part
You can live in my heart.
