Horis Skopo (translation: "Without a Cause") was the Greek entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1990 in Zagreb performed by Christos Callow and Wave.
The song is a ballad, with Callow singing about his desire to be with his lover. He sings that she tells him that she loves him and then "you go away without a cause", which causes him considerable heartache.
It was performed 2nd on the night following Spain and preceding Belgium. At the close of voting, it finished in 19th place with 11 points.

Kathe nychta pou chorevo
Se skies kai se skotadia akrovato
Mes t’ asteria se gyrevo
Kai sti mousiki tou dromou se zito
Na borousa na klepso to oneiro sou
Na chatho ston pyreto sou
Otan les to s’ agapo
Ki otan fevgeis choris skopo
Tosoi dromoi pligomenoi
Toses portes dichos anthropo kai fos
Kapou tha’ sai xechasmeni
Ki ap’ ton idio to diko sou eafto
Na borousa na klepso to oneiro sou
Na chatho ston pyreto sou
Otan les to s’ agapo
Ki otan fevgeis choris skopo
An boreis na oneirefteis
Ti mera pou charazeis ti siopi
Tote tha’ sai dynati
Ton ilio n’ antikryseis
Ma to xero tha dakryseis ma
Tha klepso to oneiro sou
Na chatho ston pyreto sou
Otan les to s’ agapo
Ki otan fevgeis choris skopo
Every night I dance
I wander in the shadows and darkness
I am looking for you in the stars
And in the street music
If I could only steal your dream
And dive into your fever
When you say I love you
And when you go away without a purpose
Too many roads hurt
Too many doors without people and light
You must be somewhere
Forgotten even by yourself
If I could only steal your dream
And dive into your fever
When you say I love you
And when you go away without a purpose
If you can dream
The day that is coming in silence
Then you will be strong enough
To face the sun
But I know you will cry
And then I will steal your dream
And I will dive into your fever
When you say I love you
And when you go away without a purpose
