The Reason - Gil Ofarim

Sitting here, sitting there

Sitting watching cars drive to the land of nowhere

Do I care?

Throwing buds, throwing coins

Throwing each other’s consciousness off the ground

All year round

But I know I must be strong

And I know that I have to carry on

You are the reason why I live

The reason why I cry

The reason why I always hate to say goodbye

The reason why I smile

I can’t deny

You’re the reason why I breathe

Because of your love

Running here, running there

Run to see you everywhere and anywhere

You are the one I need the most

But right now I feel like a ghost somehow

Somehow

Don’t wanna go where they are

Don’t want to go where they’ll be

It’s not the way it used to be

Don’t want to live in the past

It was running too fast

You are the reason
