Star Called Sun Lyrics
Near a star called sun.
It was there that my mom came undone.
Sounds of a summer parade.
90.5 in the shade.
She drifted off on the Fourth of July,
A holiday look in her eyes.
Said goodbye to a lifetime of pain.
She died in a midsummer rain.
She said, "There's one million stars
For every little grain of sand down there."
She floated up, like a rocket in space.
The misery gone from her face.
Flying to the comets and stars.
Out past the canyons on Mars.
She saw the future and she saw the past.
She said, "Don't worry, it's not meant to last.
Everything's always okay.
Even the worst of your days.
There's one million stars
For every little grain of sand down there."
So, while she's there when I look at the sky.
Or when I drink whiskey or wine.
Or when I feel frightened at night.
Or days when I'm sick of my life.
She says, "Son, it'll all be all right.
Everything's already fine.
If only you knew what I've seen.
You'd never feel frightened again.
There's one million stars
For every little grain of sand down there."
It was there that my mom came undone.
Sounds of a summer parade.
90.5 in the shade.
A holiday look in her eyes.
Said goodbye to a lifetime of pain.
She died in a midsummer rain.
For every little grain of sand down there."
The misery gone from her face.
Flying to the comets and stars.
Out past the canyons on Mars.
She said, "Don't worry, it's not meant to last.
Everything's always okay.
Even the worst of your days.
For every little grain of sand down there."
Or when I drink whiskey or wine.
Or when I feel frightened at night.
Or days when I'm sick of my life.
Everything's already fine.
If only you knew what I've seen.
You'd never feel frightened again.
For every little grain of sand down there."

This is a cover of famous russian singer Viktor Tsoi. David Brown heard his song and wanted to make a cover, but he was afraid, that lyrics will lost its charm in translation. So he wrote his own, and altered melody of the chorus. This version is great, and I love to listen it (as almost all the songs of this band), but I'd like to post here a rough translation, just for you to get an image of its original variant.
White snow, grey ice On the cracked earth Like a patchwork blanket A city lies on it in a road loop And above the city the clouds float Covering the skylight And above the city there is yellow smoke The city has lived for two thousand years Under the light of the star Named Sun
And two thousand years the war lasts A war without certain reasons The war is the issue of the young ones A medicine against wrinkles The red, red blood In an hour is only ground In two there are flowers and grass on it In three it is alive again And kept warm by the beams of the star Named Sun
And we know it was always like that That the Fate loves more the ones Who live by other laws And who will die young He doesn't remember the words "yes" or "no" He doesn't remember neither ranks nor names And able to reach the stars As he considers it's not a dream And fall burnt by the star Named Sun
