Vireo's Eye Lyrics - In Evening Air - 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 

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
