Aladdin

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] 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 undoing No 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 into your nose Stressed by the distance of shoes and the bridges too far to be named [Chorus 2] 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 [Post-Chorus] 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 [Instrumental Outro]
