Continental Dares Songtext

A flash of urge to find the streets,
from boyhood vigour
and shadowed figures
you'd taught me.

Frozen hands were pocket bound,
an hour was enough for me;
a ball of snow,
a wound to treat.

Eyes to lights in sky,
no need to define,
to give a name is to lie;
hollow but beautiful.

Afraid of all the stares
and continental dares
I had lost,
and that fear will sparkle,
and then fall out.
For the childhood
I owed you everything
that I am scared of,
and surrounded.
