Future Islands - Glada lyrics

New canopies arise
From the crumbling framework
The remnants of fire

And you came as you are and they said
"Heaven’s a mystery, unless you’re a star"
"Unless you’ve a crown"

But they’re wrong
And you can walk this head around and gone
Or we can fly who am I?
Do I deserve to see again?
The slow lapping waves
Bathing my face in light

In the night long after summer winds
In the last, diving in
Finding love and a friend in the dawn

The blueberries arrive
Round the purpling nettles
The ramsons' empire

And you came from the stars and you said
"We are the prey that we seek in the dark"

But who am I? Do I deserve the sea again?
Slow lapping waves bathing my face in light

In the dawn for far and long, as I have been
The last time around now finding a friend

Who am I? Why do I deserve the sea again?
After all I’ve done
And finding love in the end
