Two Islands
Used to call me baby
You've founded all these thoughts of lakes and cosmonauts
But now you're gone
It's patience that was failing
We're pilgrims to our youth
Oh, it's so uncouth, what's going on?
I've been thinking 'bout you lately
Do you think about me still?
In high places, on foreign ground
We're two islands, two islands
In high places, where the suns are down
We're two islands
So feel me breathe
In the light of these thousand burning stars and violet mists
Or can we be
In the zest of these architectural arts that no one noticed
Moving on, I'm moonstruck
A fool's paradise to shower us in light
Beyond the one
I think I can still taste it
The texture of it all hardly showed it all
It's just that I don't recall
In high places, on foreign ground
We're two islands, two islands
In high places, where the suns are down
We're two islands
So feel me breathe
In the light of these thousand burning stars and violet mists
Or can we be
In the zest of these architectural arts that no one noticed
Burn
Burn with me
So feel me breathe, in the light of these thousand burning stars and violet mists
Used to call me baby
You've founded all these thoughts of lakes and cosmonauts
But now you're gone
I believed we could be failing
We were mountains, we were seas
Bursting at the seams, 'cos we thought it was done
