Lyrics

[Verse 1]
To care
Or not to care
To be your darling?
In the distant and uncertain
To be aware
In an old delirium hotel room
That the devil
Is not behind the curtain
She said walk in small steps
And fear floating
We made a pact
The certain approaching
Leaned on the sky
The smoking cigarette
Said, "It's late
You should be going"
The wind is howling
The house is showing
[Verse 2]
Boat to an island on the wall
A hand striking in slow motion
Future singing in the field
Shooting season's open
[Verse 3]
To care
Or not to care
To be your world
In your absence, an angel chose this for you
You're supposed to laugh
Tell your fortune to the sailor
This is the right mountain pass
These are the sunny shores, remember
Well
[Verse 4]
Boat to an island on the wall
A hand striking in slow motion
Future singing in the field
Shooting season's open
Boat to an island on the wall
A hand striking in slow motion
Dancing, dancing alone
Shooting season's open
