about

Sometimes Greek poets just like to complain about things.

lyrics

Like the leaves that flourish in the spring, in the spring
growing with the glimmer of the sun for a time
We enjoy the flower of our youth
But we’re all bound to fade, bound to fade

We don’t know our fortune from our doom, from our doom
Living in the shadow of the ends we can choose
Either we can die before our time
Or we’re bound to grow old, to grow old

Many are the things that can go wrong, go wrong
Everyone is burdened with his own kind of grief
Money problems, family problems,
no one is free from the woes of the world

Like the leaves that flourish in the spring, in the spring
growing with the glimmer of the sun for a time
We enjoy the flower of our youth
But we’re all bound to fade, bound to fade
