"Duke" lyrics

"Duke"

On Market Square, we were carried away
We studied entire empires when you were Duke
We landscaped our legacies and fought about wars

I don't know how we have come to function so far away
Drifting at our atlas with the compass we've made
You know it's our best work
I'll see you here, here, here

Where the weather licked your face dry
The weather licked your face dry

I am half-hidden, you are half-hidden
Until the arms close, scheduling the tides
Pitching up in our parks will never grow old to me

I don't know how we have come to function so far away
Drifting at our atlas with the compass we've made
You know it's our best work
I'll see you here, here, here

Where the weather licked your face dry
The weather licked your face dry
The weather licked your face dry
Where the weather licked your face dry

I don't know how we have come to function so far away
Drifting at our atlas with the compass we've made
You know it's our best work
I'll see you here
Here, here, here, here, here
