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
