we stare into each others eyes /
like jackdaws, like ravens /
the ground may open up and swallow us /
in an instant, an instant //
but i don't have the right to interfere, to interfere /
i don't have the right to interfere, to interfere //
in the future we will change our numbers /
and lose contact /
in the future leaves will turn brown /
when we want them //
and i don't have the right to interfere, to interfere /
i don't have the right to interfere, to interfere /
i don't have the right to interfere, to interfere
