No Tears

Песенка оптимиста*)


***

When autumn clouds meet with the sun
The former eat the latter
But life goes on, until you’re done
And then - it doesn’t matter

When autumn’s grey paints up your head
Your bones begin to rattle
But life goes on, until you’re dead
And then - it doesn’t matter

………… Water, water, water, what a mess!
………… Shedding tears, though, is wasting water
………… And that’s a clear sign of carelessness
………… When the global climate’s getting hotter

You lose your hair and your friends
Get lonelier and wetter
But life goes on, until it ends
And then - it doesn’t matter

Between last straws and final drops
It doesn’t get much better
But life goes on, until it stops
And then - it doesn’t matter

………… Water, water, water, what a mess!
………… Shedding tears, though, is wasting water
………… And that’s a clear sign of carelessness
………… When the global climate’s getting hotter
