Future Islands

5

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 undoingNo 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
