Vireo's Eye - Future Islands

A loose, and hazy time

When you were not my Clementine

And I was not your diamond’s eye

Bereft, as daisies lie

For our love was not lost in style

You were strong, I was a child

We, we’re not kings here

We’re not kings here

We’re just strangers

We, we’re not kings here

We’re not kings here

We’re just strangers

And Love, has died in song

Carried down by ancient tongues

Ferried around the water’s thrum

And winds, along a line

Along a whirl, a lonely girl

To be, to see, to sweat, and bleed

To fall on your sword-on your sword

On your word

We, we’re not kings here

We’re not kings here

We’re just strangers

We, we’re not kings here

We’re not kings here

We’re just strangers

Be still, by my side

For you are not my Clementine

And I am not your diamond’s eye

To Sleep!

By right of you, I can’t endure

In the light of things, I can’t ignore

In spite of all the rose’s thorns, and hopeless words, and hopeless works

We’re not kings here

We’re not kings here

We’re just strangers

We, we’re not kings here

We’re not the kings here

We’re just strangers

We, we’re not kings here

We’re not kings here

We’re just strangers

We, we’re not kings here

We’re not the kings here

We’re just strangers

And angels
