Aladdin - Future Islands

Doubled the top knot

Flew out the lattice door

Do what he wouldn’t

Do what he couldn’t do

No lack of ‘wouldn't' could be my undoing

No lack of trying

No lack of sighing ‘loo'

Weave songs of loving late

Dream songs of dying

Recite the oakwood flame

Rings count my olden days

I’ve seen the beaches

Breached the peak of ‘please' and ‘thanks'

I’ve seen my features age

My fingers strange

From the dew

From the dew, of the fields

We grew

And I built a ship for two

It waits for me and you

In the dew of the fields

Is it real?

Is it real?

I’ll show you the way

Just walk beside the low stream until it fades

Into a melon colored field

The wind will know your name

And you don’t have to run

You don’t have to change

Don’t ever change…

We were the candles that lit up the snow on dusty roads

We were the animals breathing life into June just to see faith

Blessed by the cannibal moon and the spoon dipping deep to your nose

Stressed by the distance of shoes and the bridges too far to be named

Was it real?

When we held our hands close to flame

Just to feel

I’ll show you the way

Just walk beside the low stream until it fades

Into a honey colored field

The wind will know your name

And you don’t have to change

You don’t have to change

Love is real

Our love was real

It’s a hand

It’s a hold

It’s a shield

Our love was real

Our love was real

It’s to hope

It’s to dream

It’s to heal

It’s to heal
