Vireo's Eye

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 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 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 works 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 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 --- Vireo's Eye - Future Islands
