Lyrics
Nothing to do, nothing to do
I stare at the sun and wonder
While I question myself
What am I here to conquer?
To surmount fear or outwit fate?
Or maybe like Ulysses
I should drink the cup of life to its lease?
Oh I fear I am too late (2x)
Where is love to light the candles in our hearts?
Where is passion to spread its wings,
And to warm the hearts of the lonely
with it's mysterious glow?
Alas nowadays, only things bring us joy
How hollow, how shallow...
