Lord Huron - Emerald Star

Here by the lake, what a vision you are
In the light of the emerald star
I’ve come for you, my love
Through a window in the dark
Don’t you know you’re my everything?
If I lost you, I think I would die
Was everything you said just a lie?

You never loved me
I came all the way through time and space
To take you away and out of this place
With the moonlight in your eyes
You’re the brightest star in all of the sky
I’ll cry and I’ll cry if your light ever dies

Oh, what a jewel are you
And, oh, what a fool am I for squandering my love
On an emerald in the sky
Way out here in the void
Is the loneliest place to die
When everything you loved is a lie

You never loved me
I came all the way through time and space
To take you away and out of this place
You’re an emerald in the sky
You light up the night by blinkin’ your eyes
I’ll cry and I’ll cry if your light ever dies
