Future Islands - Vireo's Eye video free download

Baltimore's Future Islands stellar new-wavey track Vireo's Eye, off their LP release 'In Evening Air'.

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 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 round 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

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 light of things, I can't ignore

In spite of all the rose's thorns,

and hopeless words

We, we're not kings here

We're not kings here

We're just strangers

And angels.
